‘Max’: 3 points for parents

• Violence: War violence. Soldiers are ambushed. One of them is shot in a smoke screen and dies.

• Peril: Guns are missing from military raids. Those selling the guns go after children who have found out what they are doing. The same criminals kidnap a man.

• Language/Smoking: Some uses of profanity. A little smoking.
