Why the "R" rating

Rating: R (For strong bloody brutal violence and torture, a scene of rape, and pervasive language.)

I was aware of the brutal violence and possible

Spoiler:

but was not aware that there would be a rape scene. Perhaps this is in connection with his wife's murder. I, personally, have a great dislike for those types of scenes and hope this one is short and not overly graphic. The other graphic stuff doesn't bother me as much as a realistic rape scene (I'm still scarred from Jodie Foster's scene in The Accused).

Anyway, wanted to pass this along so you all would know what to expect.

Thanks Dallas. TUT was a M15+ rating here so I'll be interested to see what the Australian Film Commisssion does to LAC. A rape scene, whether flashback or not, is a different kettle of fish to a few crudely thrown anatomical words.

BTW I noticed that your post has 4 views as of 7.40pm but you obviously have a 'fan' because it was planted on IMDb by an Australian about 30 minutes after you posted it here at 5.26pm.

Bloody Aussies! Can't trust 'em. Evil or Very Mad
