Kin

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 42 minutes
Release Date: August 31, 2018
Directors: Johnathan Baker, Josh Baker
Starring: Myles Truitt, Jack Raynor, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Kravitz

      I don't know what to think about this crime drama that's about federal agents, a vengeful baddie and an unearthly army, and ex-con and his adopted brother wasting no time hitting the road. Badly out numbered, their only protection is an ancient weapon of unknown origin. Again, I don't know what to think! There are scenes that I think should've been deleted, there's foul language, and the overall theme of the picture is, not that good. I think the movie industry should come up with a new rating, that lies between PG-13 and R, say like a PG-15 or something. Seriously people, I think you should skip this film.

        When Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith came out, Everyone thought that it was it for Star Wars, we all thought that there was going to be no more Star Wars movies. But then, in 2012, Disney Acquired Lucasfilm, and the right to the Star Wars franchise. Then, in 2015, this movie came out. Everyone was so hyped up for it, including me and some friends of mine while we were in the car, on our way to the IMAX theater! This film is one of the best Star Wars films ever! Parents be cautious, but this film should be ok with your teens, but I'd be cautious with your little ones.
