I can't wait to see it. One thing though, my 11 year old wants to see it badly also. He's mature for 11 (his mom's a freeper!), but would this be too intense?

I haven't seen it yet so I will have to leave it to Joanie to answer your question.

There is no foul language and no sexual content in the movie. But, of course, it being a realistic portrayal of the Japanese treatment of American POWs, there is a good deal of violence – not gratuitous, but very wrenching. I looked away during one particular scene in which the audience is well aware that much blood is going to flow, so, I’m sure that your son will have sufficient warning to avert his eyes if he doesn’t feel he can deal with what is coming.

Since you say he is a mature eleven-year-old, I urge you to take him. He will leave the theater with a genuine appreciation of the sacrifices that were made in his behalf, and a powerful comprehension of the cruelty that courageous, duty-bound Americans suffered at the hands of a barbaric enemy (which might serve him well, should he come across politically correct curricula in the classroom, now or in the future).

Saw half of it today beforce it was stopped by a storm going through. Got a rain pass --literally--and am going back tomorrow.
