Fantasy violence is one thing, but this was a whole series of unrelenting gross-out real world violence, very brutal stabbings, close-ups of point blank shootings, terrorizing prisoners etc etc. If you are going to take an 11-year old to this, then you might as well take him to an R-rated horror movie like Hostel or Saw.Maybe some 11-year olds are less put off by the blood and gore than 59 year olds, but goodness.

- Hostel or Saw is gratuitous violence, IMHO, very popular with kids, admittedly, but not necessarily healthy. - Audiophilander 20:48:52 01/22/07 (0)
