Pros

• Casting: Overall, great casting, all actors fit their parts (especially Anne Hathaway and Gary Oldman)
• Acting: Very well done, you can understand people's intentions and thoughts in their faces and tone of voice. Something every actor aspires to be able to do.
• Plot: Isn't this obvious? Incredible, it twists and turns, and you keep wondering till the very end, where everything makes sense...or does it?

Middles

• Violence: -We don't know where to put this, violence is pretty essential for the point of the movie, but it shouldn't be enforced. So, we made up the "Middles", which are 'things that are essential for movies but don't quite fit as a "pro".'-And thus said, it was essential!

Cons

• There are a few things we cannot talk about here because it isn't "appropriate for younger ages", so we put up the link above that we trust which goes into all the details.
• Language: Not too bad, definitely not PG  but then again definitely not R; however, we didn't count.
• Drugs/Alcohol: Nothing really...unless you count rich people drinking champagne and NOT getting drunk...

Conclusion

• A great movie, but parents need to preview or trust their 11-and-under-children with this kind of a movie before allowing them to watch it. 
• We could add a "Spoiler Alert", but we find it's better to just let you watch it yourselves!
