It is a story based upon a murder and it involves a person who kills about as automatically as he breathes. It's not gratuitously bloody like one of those Hostel or Saw movies. But people are killed. The themes are rather mature and literary, the nature of violence in society and whether our time is different in that respect. It is in some sense a character study rather than an action movie. The characters are quirky as those in any Coen brothers movie. The dialog is very well written. I don't know if many 13 year olds care about themes or dialog. Maybe he should start with the Big Lebowski, a more light hearted Coen Brothers movie.
