Why 13

The official rating, firstRated PG-13 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
Nearly three minutes of gunfireAgents from four countries chase each other from Paris to Shanghai: shootouts in a market, a subway, an auction house, with faceless deaths and a minute of blood at the centre of the frame spread across the film.
A heroine who loses her ownOne agent's partner is shot in front of her, another sees her family threatened; death is spoken of thirty times, often as a threat.
Cigarettes, cocktails, joltsPlenty of glasses and smoke in hotels, a hundred and twenty loud shocks, no notable swearing.

What the movie brings

Five women doing the job of movie spies, without anyone making a fuss about it.
Cities of the world crossed at a run: Paris, Marrakech, Shanghai.
An alliance between rivals that holds because each has something to lose.

Watching it together

Before

After
