Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this adult thriller revolves around lofty ideas and mature themes (including faith and terrorism) that may not interest kids, or even teens. The violence -- of which there's a fair amount, including an embassy bombing and gunfire that leads to bloodshed -- and discussions about terrorism might be upsetting to younger viewers. There's also some swearing, smoking, and drinking. All of that said, the main character seems like a man who struggles as much as he can to be true to his faith, and watching him navigate this quagmire is actually quite thought-provoking.

Sexual Content

The lead character has a girlfriend, though they aren't seen in any embraces or clinches; mild joke about virgins.

Violence

An embassy bombing kills a handful of people (a man is shown planting the bomb); blasts of gunfire sometimes result in bloodshed. Lots of discussion about ways to sabotage the stability of the American people. Beat downs in a prison yard; a man is thrown off an overpass; and more.

Language

A few uses of "f--k," as well as "s--t" and "damn." Not prevalent overall.

Social Behavior

An American man deals arms to his country's enemies and later appears to have joined a group whose mission is to hurt the United States. A trail of bloodshed metaphorically follows most scenes, though as viewers get to know the main players in the story, it's clear that their beliefs are being tested somewhat. There are glimpses of friends taking care of each other, even in prison.

Consumerism

Nothing too glaring --- just logos for subway stations, GMC SUVs, and a few other products.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some smoking and drinking in social situations.
