What to watch out for * Messages: Not an issue. * Violence: Roughing up criminal suspects. Death by gun, knife, and explosion. A fair amount of blood is splattered. * Sex: Some nuzzling. * Language: Infrequent mild profanity. * Consumerism: Not an issue. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not an issue.

Fun action movie for 12+
The movie, although often unrealistic, is fun and fast-paced, definitely worth a watch or two, with well-choreographed action sequences and comic relief. In terms of violence, most of it comes at the beginning. A man is stabbed in the face (not shown), two people are stabbed, a car is blown up, and someone is shot. Later on, there's another shooting or two, a few explosions, and a death by being crushed under a helicopter. In terms of sex, there's just some brief kissing, but there are about 25 swear words. All around good movie, but not for under 12!

A personal favorite.
This is one of my favorite action series. There is a lot to hold a viewer's attention, but parents do need to be aware of occasional iffiness.

Dull and very dated first film in franchise is awful
Brian De Palma's 1996 summer action flick, which started out just plainly as, well, a summer flick, was a big success (thank god the sequels were better) and spawned a franchise. So, did it deserve to be a big success and start it's own franchise? Well, I am very sorry to the legions of fans of the original film in the popular spy franchise, but the first time I saw it, I hated it. I absolutely hated it. I hated every moment of it's goofy, horribly dated special effects, overly talky symbolism, murky plot and dull acting. So, I recently re-watched this one again, and I have to say, it really actually hasn't changed all that much. So, back to the question I just asked earlier, did it deserve to be a big success and spawn a franchise? Well, no. Don't get me wrong, this is a strangely varied franchise where as every time a new installment comes out, it is always better than the previous film, and to me, the first Mission Impossible has always been a gigantic dark horse. So, despite the PG-13 rating, there are several mature themes: There is very infrequent but occasionally bloody violence, one implied scene of sexuality and frequent but mild language including b-tch, h-ll and d-mn. So, if you like this first installment in the franchise, than good for you. Fantastic. in fact, more power to you, I just most certainly did not.

Great spy movie...
The movie itself is very good. The characters are impaled, shot, and stabbed. However, none are graphic and the impalement cuts away before anything is seen. THere are a few s-words, as well as a handful of milder expletives.There are only a few thematic elements, and most are so mild that it's hard to even catch them.

A good example of over-the-top, but fun, action movie
this movie has good acting, with a good plot. it is not for the squemish, because it starts with an entire team of opratives being shot, impaled, stabbed, and oterwise killed (off screen though, but you still hear a few, ahem, bodily noises). After that though, there is just a few shoot out sequences and a perolis chase. (what good action movie is without one) if you are looking for a good action flik, this is a good movie for you

Really good; one of my favorite spy films, and that's even with James Bond and Jason Bourne being compared.
My rating: PG-13 for violence and language.

MISSION: Make movie more entertaining!
I don't think it has frequent violence there is more talking then violence but it is still entertaining.There is no hand to hand combat only gun shots, stabbing and explosions yes there is blood when people die. This really is very boring kids wont be able to stand it for an hour!
