It is nothing new that kids haven't heard or seen. I beleive that it is okay for kids 12 and up.

I rarely watch action or heist films but this kept me insterested all the way. Denzel Washington does an awesome job as a replacement detective dealing with a hostage situatian manned by Clive Owen. Willem Dafoe has a great small part playing a cop and Christopher Plumber plays the owner of the bank that the robbery is situation is taking place. Jodi Foster plays her usual serious, straight foward, possible lesbian she plays most of the time (ei: Silence of the Lambs) but she preforms it well. There are a few questions I was left with at the end of the movie but nothing to major. I wouldn't take the little ones to it but any age after 13 would be fine.

SMARTEST HEIST MOVIE EVER. No real bad violence. Good for mature teens and tweens. I don't really understand the rating system. If a movie has more than one f bomb it's rated R. If you've heard it once you know it. So this movie should definately be rate pg-13.
