Written and Directed by: Paul W. S. Anderson Starring: Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Ian McShane, Natalie Martinez Rated: R for strong violence and language. Parental Notes: This is a big, bad, nasty action movie, and not suitable for youngsters. Teens will probably dig it if they like mindless violence, but the R rating is well-deserved.
