Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that some teens may be drawn to this political action adventure by its all-star cast of popular/award-wining actors (including Matthew Fox of Lost, Dennis Quaid, Sigourney Weaver, and Forest Whitaker). The film revolves around a terrorist attack on the U.S. president and features scenes of explosions killing a crowd of people, a suicide bomber detonating in a posh hotel's lobby, high-ranking officials being shot at execution-style, and other bloody deaths. Language includes words like "s--t" and "bitch"; it's worth noting that there's markedly less commercialism and drug/alcohol use than in comparable films.

Sexual Content

A woman seems to be in a romantic embrace, but she's actually being handled roughly. She then kisses and hugs another man.

Violence

The U.S. president is shot at during a speech. Crowds of people die in an explosion set off by a terrorist; a suicide bomber detonates himself in the lobby of a hotel; terrorists kill several people execution-style and kidnap the president. A Cabinet member tries to force the president to bomb Morocco for harboring terrorists.

Language

Language includes 's--t,' 'ass,' 'bitch,' and 'bulls--t.'

Social Behavior

Secret Service agents act courageously in the aftermath of a terrorist attack abroad. An American tourist bravely puts his life in danger to save a young girl. Although most of the movie's terrorists are Muslims from the Middle East, there are American ones, too.

Consumerism

Nothing overt, except for an obvious CNN-like news channel called 'GNN.'

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The president is sedated so he can be kidnapped.
