Our take
CIA-trained teen assassin Renee rallies fellow program grads against the agency that raised them. It is a US R streaming actioner: shootouts, a suicide mention, former-lover dialogue and regular s-word and f-word. Young cast chemistry carries a loud B-movie with shaky tactical logic. Older teens who accept spy violence may be fine. The child-assassin premise stays dark underneath the gunplay
Uplifting themes
Someone voices teamwork as the way through the fight with the agency. Revenge still drives most of the plot. Soft lessons stay faint underneath
Story (may spoil tone)
A CIA-trained assassin recruits other graduates from her secret childhood program, The Internship, to violently destroy the organization. The CIA fights back with deadly force.

Gun battles and assassin training run through the film. Lethal CIA retaliation answers the uprising with shootouts, stabbings and force on both sides. Sustained action violence, not a one-off shootout

Missions and arguments bring regular f-word and s-word, with hell and a-word mixed in. Strong language shows up often enough to notice. It is not a nonstop f-word barrage

Former-lover and relationship talk comes up in the dialogue between missions. No sex scene turns up on screen. It stays talk about the past, nothing graphic

Life-or-death stakes hang over the teens once the agency turns on them. The tone stays action-forward more than horror. Tension, not dread for its own sake

A program member's suicide is referenced in dialogue during the uprising against the agency. It is a passing mention only. No act is shown on screen

Teen graduates of a CIA assassin program are hunted and fight back with lethal force. Kids trained as killers, then targeted, is the whole premise. Sustained teen peril

Shootings and stabbings bring some blood onto the screen during the uprising. Guns and knives stay in play throughout. Medium injury detail for an R actioner

Teen characters handle guns and tactics that look cool on screen. The assassin swagger can read as glamorous. That cool-factor is a real worry for impressionable teens

Talk after watching
- Renee was trained to kill from childhood. What rights do kids deserve when adults weaponize them?
- The interns fight the CIA that made them. Is rebellion justified when your upbringing was abuse?
