SABOTAGE | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"SABOTAGE"
(2014) (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Olivia Williams) (R)

QUICK TAKE:: Action: After robbing $10 million from a drug cartel, members of an elite DEA team start getting picked off one by one, drawing the attention of a local homicide detective.

PLOT:

John 'Breacher' Wharton (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER) is the leader of an elite, undercover DEA team that's out to nab the most notorious names in the drug world. His team consists of James 'Monster' Murray (SAM WORTHINGTON) and his wife Lizzy (MIREILLE ENOS), along with Joe 'Grinder' Phillips (JOE MANGANIELLO), Julius 'Sugar' Edmonds (TERRENCE HOWARD), Tom 'Pyro' Roberts (MAX MARTINI), Bryce 'Tripod' McNeely (KEVIN VANCE) and 'Smoke' Jennings (MARK SCHLEGEL).

While raiding a cartel mansion, they come across a huge sum of money and plot to steal and conceal $10 million of it down a toilet pipe. But when they later return through the sewer to collect it, the money is gone and they soon find themselves investigated by the Feds about the missing money.

When they're eventually exonerated and returned to full duty, the rust shows and the team camaraderie feels off. That's only exacerbated when team members start ending up meeting grisly demises, a development that draws the interest of local homicide detectives Caroline (OLIVIA WILLIAMS) and Jackson (HAROLD PERRINEAU). As they start investigating the murders, the remaining team members try to figure out who's targeting them and eventually start to believe it could be one of their own.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Fans of anyone in the cast might be interested, while older teens who like gritty and violent action-drama flicks might be curious about it.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R: For strong bloody violence, pervasive language, some sexuality/nudity and drug use.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
