Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Sam S Okay, first of all, I had to write this review because I came to IMDb expecting to see a beautiful pile of hatred towards this film. I have no earthly idea how most of the reviews of this movie are positive, so let's just get all this misinformation cleared up:This film is AWFUL. It's DIABOLICALLY BAD. It is a BIG SH*TTY STINKING PILE OF DOG SH*T. This movie is the biggest middle finger to anyone who ever thought of cinema as a form of artistic expression. As someone who likes good movies and hopefully will get to write movies someday, I can honestly say that this is one of the most offensive things I've ever seen.I'm not gonna be talking about this film's completely backwards 'moral', which is basically misunderstanding the phrase 'survival of the fittest' and contorting it to mean 'kill everybody because they're all part of THE SYSTEM and they don't follow MY BELIEFS'. I just want to talk about this film on a technical level.Now, I sort of see what it's trying to go for. It's sort of the protagonist/antagonist setup that a lot of crime movies have, where the main character would normally be the bad guy. The one thing this movie doesn't understand, however, is that if you want the audience to feel anything for your main character, you have to make them have ANY kind of redeeming qualities, or be justified in the horrible things they do. This movie's main character (even before he goes on a killing spree for no real reason) is a COMPLETE ASSHOLE to EVERYONE. And that wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was a Walter White scenario, but this movie is clearly acting like you should be rooting for this guy. Why should i put myself into the shoes of this guy when i actively want to see him dead?And even without the horrible characters and the broken morality, this would still be a complete mess. The cinematography is dreadful, just more shaky cam sh*t to the point where the screen is just a blur of color and you can't even see the action, The colors and sound are incredibly dull, and APPARENTLY according to the trivia section, this whole movie was improvised. And it REEEEAAALLY shows. The dialogue and acting are horrendous and the scenes make no sense because the whole thing was done on the spot without any direction. Please, don't see this movie. Not just for your safety, but for the safety of World Famous Manchild Uwe Boll, one of the worst directors in human history.

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.

view_and_review I've read the criticisms of Uwe Boll, heck I've seen House of the Dead and it was brutally bad. This movie, on the other hand, was all too good. Uwe Boll shoots and scores on this movie.I'm not a camera guru, but the movie is shot with a home video feel to it. The picture was a touch grainy and not all that crisp like you'd expect from a feature film. That didn't detract from the movie at all.Rampage is, unfortunately, a very familiar story in this day and age. From Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook and, as of a few weeks ago, Isla Vista, and as of a few days ago, Seattle. A young man, just out of high school, is fed up with his life and people in general. So, he deals with it the way some young people have decided to do in recent history; he goes on a shooting spree.The movie does a brilliant job to tear at you much like the movie Falling Down. In other words, in no way would the average person condone random killings, but you are shown the frustrating events that occur to the young man to put him in a violent frame of mind. Ultimately, you can draw your own conclusions about the young man. Maybe some are enthralled by his actions while I know many would be absolutely mortified by his actions. The excellence of this movie was in the developing of this young man/monster.
