Suspenseful and pulpy. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
No sex or nudity and mild language, about what a PG-13 should carry.
Our estimate: fine from about 13. Rated PG-13.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
