I have a hard time believing they outright lied. It wouldn't be one of the most useful and reputable movie web sites in existence if they did. Their write-ups don't "make" anything "look like" anything -- they simply state for the record the potentially offensive material in the movie. "The Cell" has actually raised a lot of eyebrows and concern in general and is becoming the next major example of evidence for the need of an 'A' (adult) rating -- more restrictive than 'R' but without the stigma of 'NC-17' that makes studios prefer to crop an artistic vision than receive one. How come you even saw this movie?
Screen-It? I think I'll check that out. Sometimes I wonder why they need a rating system any way. Couldn't they just list what is in the movie? I see an R rating and I don't know if it's for violence, foul language, s&x, nudity or what. Some of these things offend me greatly, some only a little, and some not at all. The R rating doesn't really tell me anything. Howard
