Parents are especially affectionate and do a touchy-feely slow dance that their son sees. A guy keeps staring intently at a girl and vice-versa. At a pool party, some girls are shown in bikinis.
Nathan is shirtless in a few scenes. After an intense couple of days of hand holding and near-death experiences, Nathan and Karen share a passionate kiss that ends up with her straddling him and his hands creeping up the back of her shirt. One "f--k," plus regular use of words including "bulls--t," "s--t," "ass," "d--k," "hell," "freak," "Jesus" as an exclamation and "damn.
Major League Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates must have cooperated with the film, because a game is part of a climactic sequence; PNC Park, Pirates paraphernalia, and the stadium's famous Roberto Clemente statue are all on full display, and Nathan wears a Clemente jersey. In the opening sequence, a bunch of high-schoolers drink at a weekend party.
Nathan gets drunk and wakes up shirtless on the hostess' lawn. He later vomits after being forced to spar with his father. Parents need to know that this action thriller stars Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner and rising star Lily Collins , so it's sure to attract teens. But there's a fair bit of violence, language, and intrigue that might make it too mature for tween members of Team Jacob.
The more intense sequences include several character deaths, execution-style shootings, sniper kills, and a couple of brutal beatings, one of which results in a man being chucked out of a speeding train. Even the teen girl is terrorized and beaten. All of that said, there's not a lot of blood here. Swearing includes "s--t," "ass," and one "f--k" ; sexuality is mostly flirting, hand holding, and slow dancing -- plus one heated make-out session between teens.
An early scene shows teens drinking, including the main character, who gets very drunk. Add your rating See all 10 parent reviews. Add your rating See all 36 kid reviews. Nathan Taylor Lautner is a high school wrestling champ with attentive, affectionate parents and a few close friends. After he's paired up in class with his neighbor, the crush-worthy Karen Lily Collins , the two start researching a sociology project about missing children Curious about the uncanny similarities, Nathan contacts the website's chatline, which is actually maintained by a nefarious foreign baddie.
Before Nathan can fully confront his mom Maria Bello and dad Jason Isaacs , hit men strike the house, sending Nathan and Karen on the run. Reeling with grief and confusion, Nathan and Karen are advised by his therapist, Dr.
Bennett Sigourney Weaver , not to trust the CIA and are left on their own to evade both government and international operatives trying to track them down. The best part of this John Singleton production is the sheer number of excellent actors who pop up as supporting players. It makes perfect sense that Singleton recruited a cast of acclaimed actors to bolster Lautner's leading-man debut, but sadly he's not up to the task yet.
If anything, he should find an ensemble where he lends support to actors like his co-stars. As Twilight heartthrob Jacob, Lautner's intensity makes him downright irresistible -- especially if you're only paying attention to his shirtless scenes. Equally suspicious is the sudden arrival of his shrink to spirit Karen and him off in her BMW while some Serbian bad guys follow in hot pursuit.
After tromping through the forest and hitching a ride, the pair find the apartment, along with some money, a gun and another BMW, evidently the preferred car of the CIA, or perhaps of the Lionsgate product tie-in department.
All the killing and chasing and commotion need a MacGuffin, which in this instance consists of a list of CIA agents who have somehow been compromised. Why this is so important is either never made clear or gets lost in the shuffle. For his part, Nathan would like to know who his real parents were; perhaps WikiLeaks will reveal their identities soon. Top credits Director Ernie Barbarash. See more at IMDbPro.

More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. The teenager Nathan feels outcast at home; has nightmares; and is shy. His father practices self-defense with him; he has consultations with the psychologist Dr. Bennett; and he has a crush on his classmate and next door neighbor Karen Lily Collins. When he finds a website with photos of missing children with Karen, he suspects that he might have been adopted.
He also contacts the site and the attendant locates him and calls Nikola Kozlow in Europe and the guy travels with his gang to USA. Soon his mother discloses that she is his foster mother but his parents are murdered by two criminals. Before dying, his father tells him to run away. He takes Karen to the hospital and Dr. Bennett tells him that he is in danger and gives an address in Pittsburgh to him with the names of two persons that he can trust.
The teenagers do not know who is reliable and travel to the address Dr. Bennett gave to them. What if your entire life was a lie? Rated PG for sequences of intense violence and action, brief language, some sexual content and teen partying. Did you know Edit.
