Movie Review for Parents

-by Ginger

A tourist goes to Italy to mend a broken heart and meets a mysterious woman. He finds himself being used as a pawn in an international espionage plot. It has plenty of James Bond type action, shooting, gambling and passionate kisses. Johnny Depp plays a man who looks like a wanted international murder suspect and everyone is trying to kill him.

The MPAA movie rating guide gives it a PG-13 for violence and brief language. However, this parents movie advisory would advise against taking children below the age of 14 or 15 to see it. The themes and glorification of crime plays a central role in the themes presented in this movie. The story revolves around lies, deceit, and other shadier sides of human nature. It does not set a good example for children and those under 13 should not see this one. It is a very serious movie about organized crime and all of the factors that go with it.
