Family-Faith Film Review: The Green Hornet
By Catholic Office of Film and Broadcasting
The Green Hornet: Rancid comedic remake of the masked crime fighter franchise that began as a Golden Age radio drama in the 1930s. Director Michel Gondry combines unlikable, potty-mouthed characters, occasional racist outbursts and a numbing procession of car crashes as he updates the familiar story of a respectable newspaper publisher by day (Seth Rogen) who becomes, by night, a disguised vigilante working outside the law. Much gun and martial-arts violence, vigilantism theme, one scene of implied premarital sex, occasional profanity, pervasive crude and crass language. L — limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. (PG-13) 2011
