Review of Rampage

A completely unrealistic kill fantasy disguised as social commentary. I'd heard Uwe Boll films are bad but I didn't know they were THIS bad-- and this is supposedly his best movie. The story is that of a disillusioned 23 year-old old that decides to kill everyone he can. The first 20 minutes are burdened by obvious topical writing, a sad attempt at having the audience understand the killer's motives. The weird thing about the beginning is it flashforwards to the rest of the film as we get to know the lead. This completely ruins any sense of mystery or surprise and renders our hero entirely one dimensional from the first frame. The film grows more video game-like as it goes, with people continuously running in front the gunman even though his gunshots can be heard blocks away. The scenes get more and more contrived as the movie progresses. I made it all the way to the bank scene before the gratuitous garbage became so unbearable I had to stop. The only good thing about this movie is the main actor, the guy is good. I'd seen him before in a film a 1000 times better- Terry Gilliams Tideland. Do yourself a massive favor and watch that and not this offensive bad excuse for entertainment. Unless of course you are a dumb teenager that plays video games, hates the world, and jerks off a lot.
