Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Seth_Rogue_One First of all one thing you should know before watching it is that the lead is not sympathetic, he doesn't have a sob-story of being pushed around (more than the average joe) by society to the point where he finally snaps.So if it's that type of revenge type of mass-shooter flick you are looking for this might not suit your taste, because motives are sketchy and the victims are random for the most part.That said, it is a very entertaining movie, really twisted but I think that suits the movie as it is about a guy who goes on a killing-spree after all, with occasional touches of (really) dark comedy but overall a serious and sinister tone.What I found interesting (that I didn't learn until now after the second time of watching it) is that most of the dialogue was scripted and that they only had a 10 page draft when they made the movie and most of that was about events (that of course was not scripted, you can't just randomly blow up a car or shoot a person).And that truly surprised me because there is some good and natural dialogue here and Brendan Fletcher is great in the lead.What I'm gonna say next may take you off from wanting to see it because he is not known for doing all that great movies but this is one of the exceptions where he managed to get it right; this is a Uwe Boll movie and hopefully that won't take your desire away from watching it, because I think you will be missing out.It's not perfect it has some scenes that work better than others but when it's good it's really good, and it's never flat out bad.
Star Master I abhor violence, but Rampage was one hell of a good movie, despite the subject being absolutely disturbing. I didn't like watching people getting gunned down, but it really hit home the social commentary Rampage tried to make, and it's a touchy subject that's been explored far too little. You can't tell the story of a lone gunman without it being in-your-face.I've never had a problem with Uwe Boll like most people. Sometimes he makes things I can't watch, but most of his movies I've watched I actually like. He thinks differently, which means you're going to get something different, and different to me is well worth investing the time into.Rampage is different, told very realistically, and has a lot to say about the world around you and I. Well done Uwe Boll, you've really (and I'm going to say this completely aware it's in bad taste) gunned down the critics with this one.
jackmeat My quick rating - 6,3/10. Basically the same movie as the sequel (which I accidentally watched first).Basically a young adult goes against the system and goes on a killing spree to try and teach the world a lesson. There is plenty of propaganda in this movie, but it isn't that far off,just a tad bit too extreme. Still entertaining, albeit violent and mean spirited. Extra couple tenths of a point for an interesting end(easy to guess) and a slight bit better job acting. Oh, and always nice to see max headroom" in a movie LOLHopefully Uwe Boll can continue the upward mobility in movie making, since his last 3 that I have seen have been pretty good, and that is hard to say with a straight face after the crap he has made in the past, but still true.
Adam Peters (0%) Mr Boll, quite frankly you have outdone yourself. Because I had you down as a 99% talent free joke of a film-maker, with a misfiring, broken sense of humour, and a cack-handed ear for writing, combined with a clueless eye for direction. But you're not, you are as a matter of fact also a slightly evil man too. This in all complete honesty is a true contender for one of the worst films of all time. The plot follows a pasty-faced Brendan Fletcher annoyed with the ENTIRE population of the world because he gets a sub-par coffee (poor little lamb), his boss is unappreciative of his labour (as opposed to what exactly?) and his parents want him to go back to college (the bastards!). I just don't get it, what is his problem? Whatever it is I very much doubt idiot Boll is the man to explain it. So what follows is a combination of implausibility (his purpose-built home-made bulletproof suit more or less appears out of thin air. Which begs the question "Why didn't he go the whole hog and build a jet-pack to go with it, or a jet-tank?"), awful super shaky cam direction, and a morally repugnant concept that, if anything, is even more awful and nasty than it first sounds. Who the hell is this movie for? Not action fans as the "action" parts are just plain horrible to watch, and utterly tasteless in the worst possible sense. Not horror fans either as this has zero tension throughout as you know exactly what's coming through Mr Boll himself ruining the ending only about 5 mins in. Above all though it's just such a joyless, flat, nasty piece of work that doesn't even pass as a failed satire on messed up American kids with guns as it's not even remotely trying to be a satire, it's nothing besides Boll's own personal fetishisation of a taboo and sensitive subject. There's movies I love, movies I think are bad/good, and then there are movies I actually hate. This is one of them. A terrible, terrible example of low-end attention hungry crap cinema.
