Our take

A PG MCU adventure follows disillusioned antiheroes forced into a dangerous mission. Action includes gunfights, impalements and a child endangered by gunfire, plus dialogue about depression, loneliness and past abuse. Language stays mostly moderate, with at least one f-word and drug references in the backstory. Best for tweens and teens 13+ already comfortable with Marvel-level violence and heavier emotional themes.

Uplifting themes

Empathy, teamwork and facing trauma together are at the center of the story Flawed heroes choose to protect others and connect instead of staying isolated

Story (may spoil tone)

After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, seven disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
