Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Survivor is a thriller set in a post-9/11 world of terrorists and traitors. In addition to references to 9/11 and war, there's some pretty strong (though mostly bloodless) violence, including bombs and explosions, shootings and killings, stabbings, fighting, and death. Language is infrequent, with sparing use of words including "f--k," "s--t," "bastard," and "bitch." Characters hold glasses of wine at a social function, and someone is said to be "swimming in dope." Despite a talented cast and director, the movie feels rather cheap and thrown together, and it's doubtful many teens will be interested.
