2/10: Some scenes of murder may be disturbing to younger viewers, but overall, it's not bad at all.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e. Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saw), and 40-50 is going to be hard R to NC-17 (i.e. Pulp Fiction).

Total Explicit Content Estimation: 25/50.
