At the edn Robert Reddford does a genrous thing which causes him nearly everything to his oldyoung partner who he trained who left him for a new opp. The eding is incredible and the acting better than any other movie ever made.

Good - But Hard To Understand
This is a light R. There are a few "F" words but fewer than usual R rated movies. Although violence is an ever-present topic (man is going to be executed in a prison), it is not shown graphicly. Yes, there are dead bodies and victims shown, but it is brief and not explicit. Sexual content is at a minimum. Brad Pitt is seen in bed with a woman. That's it. There is drinking and smoking (smoking is used as a clever tool for a CIA agent [watch the movie and you will know what I mean]). In one scene, one man is acting to be drunk for a disguise. Other than that, there is no substance abuse. I would reccomend this movie to older teenagers (19+) just because the plot is hard to understand. Content-wise, 13+.
