Parents' Guide to Assassin Club

Parents need to know that Assassin Club is an action thriller with unrelenting violence. Henry Golding stars as an assassin called Morgan who is hired by Sam Neill's Caldwell to kill seven other assassins, only to discover that they have also been given the same assignment. There are few, if any, positive role models or messages, though the film does try to make out that Morgan is doing society a favor by killing bad people. There are all manner of deaths from strangulation to drowning, shootings to stabbings. Bones are broken, fingers are mutilated, and there are scenes involving torture. The film does have a diverse cast, with a British-Asian lead and strong, if not exactly well-written, female roles, including Noomi Rapace who plays primary villain Falk. The language is infrequent but does include the use of "f--k," "s--t," and "bitch." There is one sex scene where we briefly see a woman's breast. Characters also drink alcohol on occasion and in one scene it is implied that is unmanly for a man to decline a drink.
