Transporter 2 parents guide

Brutal violence, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, some innuendo or implied sex and some strong language.

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

Scare: Not scary
Jump scares: A couple; One or two sudden jolts.
Gore: Light gore; Some blood or injury, briefly.
Violence: Brutal violence; Our top level for violence.
Sex and nudity: Mild; Mild means innuendo, or sex implied off screen, with no nudity.
Language: Moderate; Some strong profanity, a few f-words.

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.
