The kid attractor factor: This techno-thriller does not have much appeal for younger audiences.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Your past does not have to define you, and anonymous threats do not have to be obeyed.

Language: Some swearing.

Sex: References to sex.

Drugs: References to drugs.

Parents’ advisory: Pretty violent for this high-concept thriller, but OK for teens.
