You may have noticed that the trailers for the upcoming movie version of Remedy's Max Payne game series don't have a rating yet, even though the movie is a little more than a month away from release. That's because the Twentieth Century Fox production is trying to get a PG-13 rating for the ultra-violent film. However the MPAA ratings board has slapped an early cut of the film with an R rating which will almost certainly lower its potential take at the box office.Das Gamer has a chat with the film's director John Moore who expressed frustration over the ratings fight with the MPAA with Max Payne. Moore states, "They said to me, the movie feels R. And I said, "What the f*** is that, a group therapy session?" You can't do that. They're meant to judge content, not intent. They said the movie felt dark." Max Payne is due in theaters on Oct 17.

....Yeah because a kiddy PG-13 movie of a criminal killing madman will be waay better then a more true to game rated R movie...
I rather see a movie like max payne that was meant to be fully viewed in its violent/true nature then watered down pg-13 kid movie.Posted at 12:20PM on Sep 6th 2008 by Danny F.
