Way...WAY too much use of the 'F-word', almost gratuitous in its frequency.

Great Movie
Great movie. John Travolta gives an excellent performance and Denzel Washington gives a good one to. It's intense and full of action. I would have given it 5 stars but it could have done without the cussing.

Not a hard R, but lots of strong language (SPOLIERS!)
I went to see this movie being a huge fan of the orginal and i liked this version a lot better than that one. It's deffintly has more adult content than the other one though. There are very very very frequant uses of the f-word (in the first sentence of the movie it's used about 3 times) and John Travolta uses it almost every sentence. Since the movies about a train hijacking you know there going to be violence and while it is not very frequant there are scenes where people get shot and they are pretty bloody espically 2 scenes where one of the hijackers is shot in the head and another where 2 of them are shot repedently. On the other hand the movie is GREAT with very strong performances from Washington and Travolta and is a great thriller for anyone that wants to have some fun!

Not appropriate for any age
This is the worst movie I have everr seen. The language is totally inappropriate for all ages. The story was not much better. I would not recommend any to go see this film

I'm okay with swearing But most of it in this movie was just tasteless Did any one else notice the multiple instances in which the sony logo was displayed? The ending wasn't too my taste which is why it only got 3 stars.

great thriller
I loved this movie! It was full of action and thrill. If your parent doesn't care about language I would say for 10 year olds. if they do care about language then for 12 year olds.

teens will like it but it will scare kids under 12
It was very good im 13 and I enjoyed so its a teen movie I do think it has alot of bad language but nothing too bad , I think you should see it with your teens but the shooting will give your little kids nightmares , and it keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time , it is a awsome movie to wath when you want a action/thriller.
