<p>David Schwimmer has lashed out at the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), claiming they have a &#8220;double standard&#8221; for giving his film, Trust, an adult R rating.</p>
<p>The Friends star directed the drama about a family trying to deal with every parent&#8217;s nightmare: their 14-year old daughter is lured into a meeting with an online predator who rapes her. </p>
<p>The ratings board gave the R certificate because of a scene where the girl&#8217;s dad (played by Clive Owen) re-lives the attack in his mind.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no nudity, no overt sexuality other than what needed to be implied for a scene in the hotel room where we learn that a rape took place &#8211; I think the scene was tastefully handled,&#8221; David told Deadline.</p>
<p>&#8220;What I find frustrating is there are plenty of films that get PG-13 that are so violent. There is a double standard. You can&#8217;t show nudity or hear the F-word, but you can show people being blown to bits and chopped up.&#8221;</p>
<p>He reckoned it&#8217;s about time the MPAA got with the times.</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe a public forum will show that the ratings system needs to be updated to reflect the times. It is quite old,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>David has appealed for a rating change but has no plans to alter any scenes so that young people can see it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s face it, kids have heard and seen it all. I don&#8217;t see Trust as a message movie &#8211; it&#8217;s a drama that taps into a pressing issue that is important for young people to be able to see,&#8221; he said.</p>
