Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
isthisusernametakenyet You wonder why you never heard about this movie before? You wonder why there are no "huge" stars featured in this movie? You wonder why there's not a "huge" studio backing this movie? You wonder about the miserable critics - e.g. in newspapers - on this movie?This movie is not about the craftsmanship of filmmaking or storytelling, it's not about neat special effects or entertaining jokes. It's about completely everything of yesterday, today and tomorrow of everybody. There is one central question asked in this film: Why are/have there not been more people supporting Occupy Wall Street or at least their message?And here's what i guess why: A lot of you still believe in the so called 'american dream', where everybody could become everything if he only would work hard enough. That's why so many people are defending the plutocratic system that's oppressing the 99.99% of the world and especially the U.S. They are convinced there will come the day, when they will be part of the beneficiaries of this system.Spoiler: They won't. Ever. No matter what they try.Watch the movie, get incredibly emotional and think what you want about the ending - but much more important: Think about what's happening with us.
Philip Schroeder I just watched Bailout: The Age of Greed, and I must say it has been a long time since I last watched such a propaganda filled, poorly acted piece of sh*t. The movie actually starts out great, and we get the back-story of how f*ck-ed our main protagonists' life is f*ck-ed. His wife is recovering from some deadly disease, although it is never told what disease it is, and we just hear about all the crazy expensive medication she needs to recover fully. Meanwhile, our ''hero's'' bank is going bankrupt and that leads them to f*ck the clients who t'bought their fake stocks? It's confusing and seems like Uwe just chose to change the reason the bank f*cks it's clients mid-film so that his genius masterpiece would rally up the people who are actually believing everything from this poorly excuse of a film. Anyway, the first hour we're just following the miserable journey of Jim, who's life only seems to get worse. Eventually, Jim decides to go on a rampage and basically kill everyone he sees in a suit because suits = evil puppet of cooperation. The movie ends very stereotypically with Jim holding some speech of righteousness where he is proclaiming that if the system is not taking care of these banks he will, cause he is the soldier of the people. A real vigilante. Now, you may be thinking that Uwe Boll is some amazing society critic that knows just what he is talking about. but he's not. He's Uwe Boll. The man who raged at the internet because we wouldn't fund his shitty movie. Uwe Boll doesn't know the concept of a vigilante, but a vigilante doesn't kill at least 30 people that there may be the slightest doubt of innocence in. Don't watch this movie unless you want to laugh at how smart Uwe Boll thinks he is.
jflevery I'm all up for action, quite the Arnold Schwarzenegger fan to be honest, but this film seems to actively encourage terrorism as a positive. Perhaps I'm missing the point of this movie, but I was quite disturbed when the hero (who has been hard done by) starts shooting random innocents because he has a grudge against people wearing suits. I get that he feels he's been ripped off, but to start throwing grenades into offices full of accountants and lawyers and calling himself a 'soldier of the people' is disgusting. Most of those people were probably paid reasonable wages for skilled jobs and had families. Essentially, brands anyone better paid than skilled labour as evil, and justifies killing them indiscriminately.Other than that, not clever, not well acted, poorly written, I wish I'd never seen this film. Ironic that by the film's misguided moral code, and that I feel ripped off by watching it, I should feel completely justified in assaulting everyone mentioned in the credits.I would not recommend this film to be seen by anyone, ever.
FlashCallahan Jim is living a peaceful life with a decent paying job and a loving family. Everything changes when the economy crashes causing Jim to lose everything. Filled with anger and rage, Jim snaps and goes to extreme lengths to seek revenge for the life, and potential good life, taken away from him......If I ever wanted to change the name of a film, it would have to be this one, and I would call it 'The Unluckiest Man In The World', because, wow, does he have some poor luck.He loses money, lots of it, and because of this, he loses his job, and when John Connor gives him $10,000 (easy money), he hires the Lesser known Roberts sibling, who wastes his money anyway.And to top it all off (no pun intended), his cancer suffering wife takes her own life, because she doesn't want to bother him with her illness.And I'm sure it happens in the space of a couple of days.......Its a lot to take in, and because of all his bad luck, the most feasible of Bolls films becomes more of the same, and even though I've grown tolerant of his film style and motivational coaching, the exploitation part if the film seems pretty pointless because of the maundering build up.Lessen the bad luck, have the wife healthy and run away with the guy who lost ll his money, and then we'd have a proper exploitation revenge flick, with a message of the dangers of playing with your life savings and your marriage.The twist at the end is pretty clever, but it's be more convincing if Purcell wasn't cast as the lead (no offence to the man, he puts in a great performance).All in all. Its a pretty bland affair, offering too little too late.Stick with Rampage, for a decent, shocking Boll film.
