# Murder on the Orient Express - Parent Guide Despite its PG-13 rating, this murder mystery contains strong violence including graphic depictions of stabbing that may disturb younger children. The mild language and sexual content are less concerning than the brutal crime scenes. Best suited for mature teens 15+ who can handle intense violent imagery within a detective thriller.
