Why We Rated This for Ages 14–16

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Corporate epsionage is portrayed as a dirty business, with rival companies routinely undermining each other by using spies to try to steal new ideas. The lead characters are more than willing to do whatever's necessary to make millions of dollars, and CEOs are portrayed as willing to break all kinds of laws (like hiring special departments to break and enter, steal, and possibly kill) in order to give their companies an edge.
• Violence:

  Menacing but humorous confrontation between two titans of industry. Slightly disturbing scene of a character who has obviously been sedated and another who's temporarily gagged and blinded. Security team discusses how "to deal" with possible spies in the company.
• Sex:

  A lot of sexual chemistry and conversation between Ray and Claire. They make love off camera, but the audience does see them kissing in bed on several occasions, and usually both of them have bare shoulders, legs, and backs. Ray walks out of the bathroom in just a towel. Steamy conversation includes asides about "rug burn," "turned on," and "legs in the air."
• Language:

  Words like "bulls--t," "s--t," "cojones," and "a--hole" are used occasionally. Other potentially offensive expressions include "goddamn," "for Christ's sake," "oh my God," and "swinging d--k."
• Consumerism:

  Most of the products and companies featured are fictional, so there's no overt consumerism in the film.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Adults are shown enjoying champagne, wine, and cocktails at dinner, a celebration, a bar, and a hotel.
