R-Rated Movies That Went Too Far (Looper.com)

"R-rated films are supposed to push your buttons. With the freedom to deliver a truckload of language, blood, nudity, and drug use, you can provide all kinds of provocative material. Sometimes, this results in movies where the ribald or violent material pleases moviegoers across the planet. Other R-rated titles use the flexibility of an R-rating to tell boundary-pushing stories that speak to real-world injustices. In some instances, though, certain R-rated movies use the creative freedom of this MPAA rating for less savory purposes. These are the films that go too far and use an R-rating for material that doesn't serve a purpose beyond a lackluster conception of what it means to be "edgy." Instead of utilizing adult topics for thoughtful storytelling, these movies get too transgressive and soar well beyond the barometer of good taste." - looper.com
