Parents' Guide to Take Cover

Parents need to know that Take Cover is a British action thriller that follows hitman Sam (Scott Adkins) and his "spotter" Ken (Jack Parr) who find themselves under fire in a luxury hotel suite ahead of Sam's final assignment. A dramatic story with lighter moments, the story is a mix of bloody violence and some wisecracking dialogue. There are multiple deaths by sniper fire, with characters killed and bloody injuries shown on-screen. There is some hand-to-hand combat, with assailants kicked, punched, and choked unconscious. Swearing is used both casually and due to high-pressure situations, with variations of "f--k" and "s--t" used throughout, with one use of "c--t" to describe an unsympathetic female character. Sex is referenced rather than shown, including lighthearted references to sexual acts played for comic affect, as are references to overindulging in drink and drugs, although characters do drink and smoke in moderation in a couple of scenes. Sam is conflicted by his work as a hitman—he is quizzed about his spirituality and asked to justify his moral code on more than one occasion—but the movie is geared to entertain rather than dive into any deep moral discussions.
