The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Review by Jeffrey Overstreet | posted 7/25/2008

The Family Corner

For parents to consider

The X-Files: I Want to Believe is rated PG-13 for violent and disturbing content and thematic material. The film portrays some Christians as narrow-minded and villainous. While the movie is surprisingly restrained when it comes to gore, the implication of evil deeds is truly disturbing. Psychopathic killers engage in grisly surgical procedures. An unmarried man and woman sleep together, and there are casual jokes about sex and deviant sexual practices. There are frequent abuses of God's name, and some crass language. The violent scenes are typical for thrillers, but consider this a PG-13 movie on the borderline of an R-rating.
