"COLLIDE"
(2017) (Nicholas Hoult, Felicity Jones) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Action: A car thief agrees to one last heist because he needs the money to save his terminally ill girlfriend.

PLOT:

Casey (NICHOLAS HOULT) is a car thief who has fled America, but gotten involved in the same life of crime in Germany. He really wants to go legit, though, and does so when he meets and falls in love with bartender Juliette (FELICITY JONES). Their love seems perfect ... until Juliette collapses one night, and Casey learns she has been dealing with a kidney disease. She has to go on dialysis, with the German healthcare system refusing to pay for a transplant.

Needing at least $200,000 to return to the States and get Juliette the life-saving surgery she needs, Casey decides to hook up again with his old crime boss, Geran (BEN KINGSLEY), and his former partner-in-crime, Matthias (MARWAN KENZARI). Geran agrees to pay them $250,000 each if they steal an 18-wheeler loaded with cocaine-stuffed golf balls belonging to Geran's rival, Hagen Kahl (ANTHONY HOPKINS).

The heist goes wrong. And Casey finds himself in a long-running car chase, foot chase, and gun battle throughout the German countryside to get back to Juliette in Cologne and keep her safe. All the while, he is playing a bigger game with Kahl and Geran to get the necessary funds to save his girlfriend's life.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: With the PG-13 rating, crazy amount of action, and two leads from the recent "X-Men" and "Star Wars" movies, there should be some interest from teens.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For violence, frenetic action, some sexuality, language, and drug material.

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!!!
