Movie 2025 128 min MA 15+ Crime, Action, Thriller
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★★☆☆

Our take

Shane Black's Prime Video heist pits expert thief Parker against mobsters and a dictator. Rated R for strong violence, pervasive language, some sexual content and nudity. Reviews note nonstop gun action, swearing, and drunken behavior. A graphic ear wound is called out in some summaries. Heist fans 16+ only

Uplifting themes

Crew loyalty appears, but morality stays cynical Thieves are charismatic antiheroes at best

Talk after watching

  • Heist films glamorize clever crime. Where do Parker's lines blur with real ethics?
  • Violence is frequent and sometimes bloody. How does Prime action compare with what your teen usually watches?
  • Team loyalty drives the plot. Who actually acts responsibly?
