Colombiana parents guide

For a PG-13, this one goes further: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and graphic gore. Beyond that, some strong language and nothing scary.

Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the gore and violence.

Scare: Not scary
Jump scares: A couple; One or two sudden jolts.
Gore: Graphic gore; Blood and wounds shown clearly.
Violence: Brutal violence; Our top level for violence.
Sex and nudity: Moderate; Moderate means a sex scene or nudity on screen, even brief, or sexual violence that is described or implied but never shown.
Language: Moderate; Some strong profanity, a few f-words.

After witnessing her parents’ murder as a child in Bogota, Cataleya Restrepo grows up to be a stone-cold assassin.
