that also won't seem terrible to me? I'm thinking action movies that walk the line between arty and action.
PS. is Oldboy too much for the average 13 year old? also miami vice should be ok right?

Why are you hanging out with 13 year olds, Dev?
Kidding.
I take it this is a 13 year old male?

If it's a 13 year old male - I'd possibly go with the first two Terminator films... (not so much arty, but cool as fuck!)

Well, that adds a whole new layer, doesn't it?
I would find action movies with good role models. I wouldn't pick
Training Day or anything.

I like
Warrior. No guns and it shows you how to build relationships while still being a badass.
And you might cry

one of the kids absolutely hated snatch, and then forced me to watch paintball on netlfix... He also showed me this sitcom with snoop dog being in high school that was pretty funny. no idea what it was called though...

ok listen, you guys are overthinking this. I just need ageish appropriate movies.. more than that I need something we will both like. We don't have to hammer the kid with ideology .

I take it these kids have a lot of pent-up rage. Warrior can also teach them to channel that rage through sport, like MMA. I'm just sayin...it's the perfect movie.
