Soldiers of Fortune Review

Messages: Soldiers of Fortune has a subplot about learning not to be selfish and working together -- but the main storyline is about revenge.

Role models: Several greedy, selfish, self-involved billionaires learn to be less selfish and how to work together in a tense situation. On the downside, one of them is a traitor, and the main character only resolves his troubled storyline by killing the man who wronged him.

Violence: Many powerful weapons and lots of shooting, with much spurting blood as bullets impact human flesh. In a harrowing scene, evil soldiers attack a village, blowing up buildings and shooting unarmed civilians. A man is shot by a tank. Many characters, including some of the main supporting characters, die. A character has a bullet painfully removed from his leg. Violent video games are shown and/or described, with titles like Death Porn and Baby Killer.

Sex:   

Language: Language is fairly infrequent but includes a few "f--k"s, plus at least one "s--t" and the occasional use of "bitch," "bastard," "ass," "piss," "hell," "goddamn," "screw you," and innuendo like "losing your cherry." Characters also say "Jesus Christ" in tense situations.

Consumerism: Not an issue

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Characters are shown drinking whisky, beer, wine, cognac, and champagne in a background, social way. No one gets drunk. Characters also smoke expensive cigars in more than one scene. Cognac is used to disinfect a wound and to help ease the pain of a man with a bullet in his leg.
