MA15+ is too lenient

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2006)

I can understand why people would be walking out and fainting from this film. And when I say "people" I especially mean the 15-17 years olds that shouldn't be seeing this film. I work at the cinemas, and I've never seen people walk out from a film because they felt nauseas. I've also never seen so many people leave to go to the "toilet" in the first half hour. This is almost definitely due to the first three scenes, which are all pretty non-stop violence, and they're needing to get out to have a break from it. I can't understand why this film doesn't have an R18+ certificate here in Australia. I'm 20, and I wouldn't be able to sit through all of those scenes. The most appalling, however, was a man taking his son aged around 11 to see it. This isn't allowed to happen with R rated films. This is the only film where I have felt truly bad about letting minors in to see it.
