Seriously... I don't know why CSM raged so much against this movie. I thought it was excellent. The action and the character development of AK was great too. Excellent film. Otherwise... As far as violence, not that much blood, holds back on the gore except for one scene where it shows a mutilated women with her breasts cut off and blood everywhere. That scene was very intense, but the only violent scene in the movie that bothered me. Also, the language is bad, but not constant. Maybe a dozen or so F words and a couple S words. It definitely has positive messages about caring and redemption. Up to you if your kids can handle the language and that one scene or not. If they can, great movie! Go see it.
