They Will Kill You

Movie 2026 95 min MA 15+ Action, Comedy, Horror, Thriller
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★★☆☆

Our take

They Will Kill You is rated R for strong bloody violence, gore, language, and brief sexual content or nudity. A housekeeper enters a mysterious New York tower and faces endless combat. Dialogue includes heavy profanity and kill threats throughout. Reviews praise relentless action but warn the body count stays high. Best for mature action fans, not younger teens

Uplifting themes

Perseverance and protecting others drive the hero

Talk after watching

  • Asia takes a job without knowing the danger. When is curiosity worth the risk?
  • Fantasy violence can feel exciting and exhausting. How do films balance both?
  • Guilt drives some heroes forward. How can past mistakes shape courage?
