“MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT”

>> Rated: PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of action, and for brief strong language

>> What it’s about: Ethan Hunt returns to save the world from nuclear destruction, with all the action, and gasp-worthy stunts you need.

>> The kid attractor factor: Teens will be drawn to the action/thriller genre.

>> Good lessons/bad lessons: It’s always important to take stock of why you’re doing something and for whom. Saving one life is just as important as saving millions.

>> Violence: Several violent car chases, fights, shootings, stabbings, helicopter crashes, cliffside fisticuffs

>> Language: Some swearing

>> Sexuality: None

>> Drugs: None

>> Parents advisory: An action-thriller that’s likely fine for older kids and teens but too violent and scary for small children.
