The story of a young, shameful and rage-filled, 23 year old douche who through technical prowess, and a body of armor, takes to the streets to clean house...with automatic weapons. It's basically that simple. Dude wants to kill people, and does. There's a bit of a twist, and a couple scenes of chit-chat to develop some character , but all that falls by the way-side when it compares to the action of the movie.
People are talking highly of Boll and this movie, and I can see why. It has a good pace, there's lots of violence and explosions, and even some messages to be swallowed. Hell, even the lead actor wasn't that bad. But the thing is, this type of movie isn't brain surgery to produce. One character dominated the film, and it was basically him plowing down people, with snippets of the same character ruling verbal exchanges. How can you not improve on other facets of film-making when the story is so simple, and so one-sided? Gotta give credit to the lead, I suppose. Though, I much preferred him covered up in armor and his helmet. I also would have preferred a different actress for the Mother. That lady was laughably bad.
And ya know what? I can't hold it in anymore. The dude who played Evan. What's your name? It doesn't matter. Brad Pitt called, he said you forgot to cup the balls. I've never seen anyone attempt to act like another actor as much as this guy trying to act like Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt from Seven...was in this damn movie!
Back to Rampage. I liked it. I did. But not for any deep reason that Boll was trying to spew at us. I enjoyed it for the action, mayhem and theme of a person losing his marbles. Blowing away a hair-salon was a great idea, as we all know hair-dressers are the bottom of the barrel when it comes down to it. $20 bucks for a five minute hair cut? Get outta town with that sh!t. Actually a pal of mine, Will Harvard is his name, had half his ear cut off from a drunk, hair-dressing bimbo that was texting as she cut his hair/ear. He sued for 50,000 smackers. Believe it!
