  • There is drug use in this movie for a guy. There was also drinking at a party. (Short scenes)

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Multiple scenes of strong and sustained threat as a tsunami engulfs a town. There is also a scene in which people are thrown around violently inside a car as the wave carries it away. Inside buildings, water chases people along corridors and into rooms.
