Our take
HIM is an R-rated sports thriller about quarterback prospect Cameron Cade training at idol Isaiah White's isolated compound after a brain injury. Dialogue includes relentless f-word dialogue, football-slogan gore metaphors, recurring nightmares, dead-body alerts, and rap lyrics referencing overdose. Isaiah's mentorship turns unsettling as the story shifts from sports drama to psychological horror. Older teens and adults only

Story (may spoil tone)
After suffering a potentially career-ending brain trauma, Cameron Cade receives a lifeline when his hero, legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar Isaiah White, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife. But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker.

Talk after watching
- Cam idolizes Isaiah before the mood darkens. How can hero worship blind us to red flags?
- Brain trauma and comeback pressure sit at the center. What does healthy recovery look like in real sports?
