QUICK TAKE:
Action: A high-tech security firm tries to rescue a Chinese businessman and prevent his adult daughter from being kidnapped by a terrorist intent on purchasing and using weapons of mass destruction.
PLOT:

After a group of villains led by Broto (BRAHIM CHAB) kidnap Chinese businessman Qin Guoli (JACKSON LOU) in London, Vanguard, the high-tech private security firm run by Tang Huanting (JACKIE CHAN), is called into action. Agents and good friends Zhang Kaixuan (AI LUN) and Lei Zhenyu (YANG YANG) are sent in to rescue Qin and manage to do that with the help of fellow agent Miya (MU QIMIYA).

It turns out Qin owes money to a terrorist, Omar (EYAD HOURANI), who wants to avenge his father's death from a U.S. drone strike and needs the cash to buy weapons of mass destruction for his retaliatory attack.

Realizing that Qin's adult daughter, Fareeda (XU RUOHAN) -- who's in Africa trying to expose and stop poachers -- is likely in danger, Tang and his team travel there but end up having her and Lei captured by the bad guys. With time running out, Tang and his team travel to Dubai where they hope to rescue Fareeda and Li and stop Omar's deadly plan before he's able to carry it out.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're fans of B-level type, Jackie Chan action movies, they might.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: Not Rated
Not Rated, but likely the equivalent of a PG-13 for action-violence.

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!!!
