why the R rating?


I am curating a public library's film collection- I have heard excellent reviews for this film, but must justify "R" rated additions? Graphic sex? Violence? How "bad" is it? I'll be grateful for objective input here.

I always wonder who the hell rated this movie R. According to allmovie.com it's rated R,because of :

# Violence
# Nudity
# Adult Situations
# Strong Sexual Content
# Adult Language
# Profanity

Violence - Denzel smacking the *beep* outta one dude is like a situation you experienced hundreds of times on your block or in school. There are faaaaaaar more violent movies which aren't even rated R.

Nudity - Denzel's ass & Sarita's tit. Big *beep* deal.

Adult situations - no comment

Strong sexual content - hahahahaha!!!!!!! There is one love-making scene & you barely see any movement or hear moaning. It's sensual, not sexual dammit.

Adult language - accidental using of "F" & "S" words & that's it.

Thanks much. I'm pretty convinced myself the MPAA ratings are whack.

It might be due to the standards back in the early '90's. By today's standards, this would be PG-13 for the most part.

It's because he sucks her nipple lol.
