I thought that this movie did a good job of portraying the conviction, motivations, and dilemmas of the characters. The admonition of Redford's character to the apathetic student that "Rome is burning" and "Do SOMEthing!" I think are timely for many young (& not so young)people who are disenchanted with government, and simply want to live "the good life." It is a call to political & social action, in whatever form and for whatever cause one believes in. I think that the violence is no worse than many PG-13 movies, and that intellectually mature teens of 15 & up could see it. They are certainly being recruited by that age; they should know some of the issues.

We are the enemy
This is just a remake of Three Days of the Condor. It is made by the people who think America is the enemy. If you like putting down your country you will love this film.

Appropiate for 13+, but they probably would find it boring anyway
It wasn't much of anything. There were a few short sequences showing soldiers, and only one firefight which is realistic, but not graphic. The rest of the movie consists mostly of a college student talking to his professor about political issues, mainly the war. Also, a reporter interviews a congressman. These scenes of dialogue are where most of the language occurs.
