Why R in USA?

[deleted]

probably for stupidity reason. USA is really unbelievable. if a movie like this is Rated-R, the CNN News should be banned when showing what USA is doing in Iraq

well if you considers that "Stand by Me". A totally charming and harmless movie was rated "R" in USA then you shouldn't be amazed about a movie with some gunshots and swearing getting an R.

That's how it works the MPAA in all its wisdom.

By the way great movie! 8/10.
