Skiptrace is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

Skiptrace is a comedic action-adventure film following detective Bennie Chan as he tracks an American gambler, Connor Watts, to take down a criminal syndicate. The film carries a PG-13 rating for its pervasive stylized action sequences, mild sexual innuendos, and occasional coarse language. While the tone is…

Contains mild, fleeting sexual references and innuendo. There are jokes about breast size, a man accidentally grabbed by the groin during an action sequence, and two men briefly shown sharing a bed for warmth.

Frequent, fast-paced action sequences involve martial arts, punching, kicking, and the use of improvised weapons. The violence is largely stylized, comedic, and lacks graphic bloodshed or lasting consequence.

Includes intermittent use of mild profanity, including 'shit,' 'ass,' 'asshole,' and 'damn.' The terms are used in conversation throughout the film without being aggressive or pervasive.

Very brief; the protagonist encounters a white powder and tests it by touch and taste to determine it is cocaine before spitting it out.

Deals with serious topics such as criminal activity, betrayal, and a character committing suicide as an act of sacrifice in the opening sequence.

Skiptrace runs 107 minutes, directed by Renny Harlin, released in 2016.
