Parent tips
This PG-13 thriller features themes of organized crime including money laundering and trafficking, though these are presented in a stylized, non-graphic manner typical of heist films. The magic performances and illusions create exciting sequences that may be intense for younger viewers, with some peril as characters confront criminal adversaries. Parents should note that while violence isn't graphically depicted, the criminal enterprise themes and some tense situations make this more suitable for older children and teens.
The film focuses on teamwork and overcoming differences as older and younger magicians collaborate, providing positive messages about cooperation and using skills for justice.
