Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the movie features explosions, fights, and vehicle chases. Characters drink, smoke, fight, and kill one another. Several scenes show clones in various unfinished states (incubating in sacks and on tables); others show organs harvested (surgery) and a baby harvested (the mother is killed after giving birth). While the protagonists' social naiveté and first grade reading skills make them seem childish, they are definitely adult in their sexual interests and fighting abilities. Characters and background images make frequent references to commercial products (including MSN, Puma, XBox, Aquafina, Cadillac, Ben & Jerry's).

Sexual Content

Barflies make rude comments; protagonists have romantic sex.

Violence

Explosions, shootings, surgery, a mother dies after childbirth.

Language

Typical "action" language.

Social Behavior

Bad corporate and military figures.

Consumerism

Lots of brand names and logos, including MSN, Puma, XBox, Aquafina, Cadillac, Ben and Jerry's.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some smoking and drinking; drugs used to keep clones placid; Jordan gets drunk in a bar.
