Profanity and the main theme of smoking and the tobacco company is the only reason why this should be kept away from tween's
Endlessly fascinating and extremely well mad, the Insider is a haunting account of one mans attempt at getting back his life after being fired and of the enormous consequences that come with this, and of the man on the outside who is just trying to get a story. Honestly, this movie really isn't all that offensie for most teens, aside from the infrequent but very strong profanity which accoutns for at least 34 F-words, and also which is not in the least bit expected at all, the constant theme and visual image of smoking. A spellbindingly interesting movie this is, but most tweens will be bored.
