Although there are some scenes where even I have to cover my eyes (1st shark attack, when they first discover plane) But it's not to bad, the only thing I would worry about for young kids is seeing all of the dead people on the boat, etc. There is a lot of violence but that is to be expected in a action/thriller movie. If any younger kids watch it you will have to explain a lot to them about all of the drug related things. I absolutely love this movie though! There is something for everyone, the ocean is beautiful too, every time I watch it I want to go snorkeling or swimming in the ocean. And not to mention PAUL WALKER! (no further explanation needed for that one, haha) All in all, this is a great, enjoyable movie. Definitely my favorite!
