Scott Mendelson is wrong (Rejoice accordingly!) Punisher War Zone gets an R.

Yay for common sense! In the 'happy to be wrong' category, The Punisher: War Zone has been given an R for 'persuasive strong brutal violence, language, and some drug use'. I had written previously about the rumors that Lionsgate was butchering the film and wanted a PG-13. 'Global Punisher Army' had contacted me and re-assured me that many of the rumors were just that, but now that it's official I can give Mr. Kevin Love credit accordingly. He were right and I was wrong to worry. Now, as for whether it will actually be a good movie well... one step at a time right?
