Review of Rage

Rage (2017)
1/10
Dies an instant death.......
25 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A vicious gang war for drug dominance draws in Special Forces veteran John Bradley.

Trying to adjust to normal life and haunted by inner demons of a violent past, the underworld's retribution on his daughter and grandchild leads to a mild rampage of fury and violence that not even the brutality of gangland is prepared for.......

Yet another Taken knock off arrives, and this time it's Lou Ferrigno heading to the crime capital of...........Leeds, to visit his estranged family.

On the way he stumbles upon a pound stretcher Ray Winstone kill a small time crook, and they go after him. After a quick action sequence featuring some of the poorest choreographed fighting I've seen, he meets his family and acts like nothing has happened.

Then the bad guys attack his family, in the most foulest, abhorrent, pointless scene of violence I have seen, and this made me instantly hate the film.

What was the point of having this scene? It's nothing more than exploitation to enhance the revenge part of the film. And it's just so poorly executed, you wonder what was the rationale of the writer......titillation?

Then we get Ferrigno stumbling around various parts of Leeds performing poor action scenes, and spouting ridiculous lines until the predictable climax.

It's quite terrible, it's a very seedy film, which could have been a throwaway entertaining 90 minutes like Wrath, Tokarev, or even A Good Man.

But no, it decides to be a little bit different, and it ends up leaving a nasty taste in your mouth.

Obviously the high ratings are nothing more than plants.

A disgusting mess.
