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!

For 16 and up.
The language was ridiculous and not needed. The only sexual content was a girl flashing her boyfriend, but it is easy to see that coming and is avoidable. There is a lot of blood and violence, including accidents and people being shot.

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

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
