Our take

Shadow Force stars two former assassins protecting their son on the run. It is rated R for violence and language throughout. Expect bank robberies, head shots, stabbings, and a child threatened at gunpoint, balanced by a loving family core

Uplifting themes

Family loyalty and teamwork outweigh the body count for some viewers Parents risk everything to protect their son

Talk after watching

  • Kyrah and Isaac hide their past to shield their son. What secrets are healthy versus harmful in families?
  • The film mixes comedy with brutal gunplay. How does tone affect how violence lands?
  • Isaac is deaf and still heroic. What stereotypes about disability does the film push back on?
