Our take

DEA agents' teens rob a cartel stash house in this US R action film. Shootouts, kidnapping and bloody gun violence escalate quickly. Drug dealing is central to the plot, and dialogue includes heavy s-word use. Not for younger teens despite the young cast.

Uplifting themes

Friendship loyalty holds within a crime-heavy plot

Story (may spoil tone)

An undercover DEA agent and his partner embark on a game of cat and mouse with an audacious, and surprising group of thieves – their own rebellious teenagers, who have begun robbing from a dangerous cartel, using their parents' tactics and top-secret intel to do it.

Talk after watching

  • Teens mimic their parents' tactics. When does copying adults cross a line?
  • A friend's loss pushes the group to steal. Can grief justify risky choices?
