i didnt see the whole movie i only saw parts of it. But the parts i did see where full of: Tenstion, peril, blood, shottings, killings, death and much more. Based n just what i saw i would say so far that this movie is ok for teens 15 and up.

Dark, Violent Look at the Future
Warning: a main character dies violently towards the beginning of the film. Anyone seeing the movie because of the main stars will be disappointed. Otherwise, it is a great, though ostensibly bleak look at the future.

Great but dark movie. Iffy for ages 16-18.
At first, I didn't understand how this movie received the descriptor strong violence. To me, it wasn't so much as the violence that was bad, but the themes. However, after I thought about it a little bit, the violence and themes are pretty much combined, so the strong violence descriptor is definitely suitable. I rate this movie iffy for ages 16-18. In-depth info below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Violence (5/5): The entire movie is a dark look at the future, with references to violent acts, mutilated bodies, and violence. There are upsetting deaths of characters. There is a graphic child-birth scene. The entire movie in general may disturb not only younger viewers but sensitive viewers in general. The violence is mainly towards the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex (3/5): In one scene, there is a male roman(?) statue with full frontal nudity, and you can see his genitals for several seconds. In another scene, you briefly see a womans nude breasts. However, it is not a sexual situation, but one character at first thinks it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language (5/5): Constant use of the F word, several uses of the S word, and infrequent use of milder words. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drinking, Drugs, & Smoking (5/5): The main character is an alcoholic who smokes a lot. Another main character grows, smokes, and sells marijuana, but I didn't really get that in the movie, I thought they were just smoking. Apparently, "Quietus" was an imaginary euthanasia drug, but when I saw the movie I thought it was an anti-depressant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the movie is dark, violent, and disturbing, but is definitely worth watching. However, be warned, you may find the movie very upsetting. I rate this movie iffy for ages 16-18.

Excellent
An excellent film, very violent but that makes the film better as it makes the future seem more realistic. There is a lot of swearing and the violence is gory, the strongest scene being a man being scene with his legs bleeding. I advise only to show to 12+.

Great movie. I am 13 and was able to handle the violence, but then again, I consider myself more mature than many my age. Besides the violence, the f-word is used very frequently.

Great movie Great storie
I thought this was a great movie but the violence was very intense and if you are a very sensitive kid you wouldn't be able to watch this. I did think it had a great story line and some scenes are realistic but are quite disturbing.All in al it was one of the best movies I had ever seen.

It was just an ok movie
I dont know why they liked the F Word so much. They used It a LOT! Anyway There was a lot of violence. Lots of shoting and like the review says a very graphic birth scene. People were chased, killed and it would VERY scary for little kids. Besides all of this, i thought it was entertaining i didnt want to stop waching. I think this movie should be for teens and adults only.
