Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Forsaken is a violent Western: Many characters are shot and/or killed, with blood spurting as the bullets hit. Characters are also beaten up, with bloody faces and cuts and bruises. There's a severed finger and a disturbing flashback of a screaming mother and a dead child. Language is infrequent but also strong, with a few uses of "f--k," plus "s--t" and "damn." Sex isn't an issue, but there's some mild flirting and a wife gently kisses her husband. Social drinking and background smoking are seen. Even though this is a decent, modern example of the Western genre, and the movie promises interesting discussions about bullies, there's not much here to interest teens (aside from fans of star Kiefer Sutherland).
