Sci-Fi meets guns.

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2005)

Neo. In real life, a Thomas Anderson. One day at work, agents come into Thomas's work office searching for him. Shortly before, he receives a call from "Morpheus," who tells him how to get out. He doesn't listen and gets caught. He is taken downtown, where he asks for a phone call. The "agent" then molds Neo's lips together.
Neo soon learns about the "Matrix," a computer program creating a reality to protect humans from the truth that they are mere power for the machines. Neo takes the red pill and joins the underground.
Personally, I can't see how this got an "R" rating. It's probably the fact it has guns in it. You see worse violence in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. You hear worse language and the same innuendo in "The Italian Job." Yet both of these movies were "PG-13." I just can't get over the fact it's "R" rated.
