Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this adult espionage kill-fest isn't recommended for young teens, even those used to graphic violence. Parents should know there is near constant fatal gun violence, otherwise martial arts fighting, people thrown into glass causing shatters and blood, strangling, car chases, and a truckload of dead Vietnamese refugees. There is also nudity, sex, and strong language.

Sexual Content

At a party, a young teen girl appears to give a North Korean diplomat oral sex under the table. We see topless women at an underground club. The car Shaw steals has a picture of a naked woman dangling from the mirror. Julia takes her clothes off because she's bugged, but shows little bare skin.

Violence

Near constant fatal gun violence, otherwise martial arts fighting, people thrown into glass causing shatters and blood, strangling, car chases, and a truckload of dead Vietnamese refugees. Intense chase scenes involve characters jumping from very high pl
