QUICK TAKE:
Action: A U.S. soldier and his Afghan translator do what they can to survive and protect each other while being the targets of terrorists who want them dead.
PLOT:

It's 2018 and American forces have been in Afghanistan for more than a decade following the terrorist attacks on American soil back in 2001. Among them is Sgt. John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) whose team is tasked with finding hidden caches of Taliban weaponry. To aid in their search, they've been using locals to serve as translators, and the latest to join John's unit is Ahmed (Dar Salim).

He seems to have something of a sixth sense when it comes to dealing with other locals, and earns his unit's trust when he saves them from what turns out was going to be an ambush. But when he and John end up alone following a firefight where their team is outnumbered, the two must do what they can to survive and protect each other, including long after that incident has passed.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Fans of Gyllenhaal or war/military movies in general, might be interested.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For violence, language throughout, and brief drug content.

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!!!
