Brutal violence, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, no sex or nudity and mild language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the violence.
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.
When a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer make a play to take over the city, Master Ip is forced to take a stand.
