Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie is about a seemingly "ordinary guy" becoming a government-hired murderer. The main character painstakingly lies to loved ones in order to cover up his participation in brutal crimes. There are many instances of strong language, and crimes are depicted graphically. Furthermore, parents should know that the film features many popular actors (George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Drew Barrymore), thus increasing the chance that children are going to know about the film and want to see it.

Sexual Content

Several references and depictions of sexual activity.

Violence

Not frequent, but graphic: shootings, hand-to-hand violence, etc.

Language

The f-word is used freely and frequently.

Social Behavior

One of the themes of the movie is how "nice" people might do cruel things in secret.

Consumerism

Barris' game shows are a focal points in the film.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The characters drink frequently, some reference to LSD.
