Review of Assault on Wall Street (2013) by Greg W — 28 Jul 2013
I loved this movie for one reason: I wish I could do that! Assault on Wall Street is a Canadian film directed by the famous German Uwe Boll , whose failures never slowed him down... I will even say, that this one was actually pretty good!
The criticism of the capitalism and the system of theft were exposed through the story of Jim (Dominic Purcell) and Rosie (Erin Karpluk), who were both affected by the US economic crisis at the time when Rosie is sick. Their life turned upside down when they discovered that their broker invested all their funds into risky equity investments and they lost all their savings. Expensive medical care of his wife culminated in the seizure of their home and the loss of his job...
After the tragedy happened... Jim decides it is time to act! And he does... efficiently... and I think everyone in their life sometimes felt like Jim and wanted to act as him.
The tempo of the movie was almost perfect, acting wasn't bad either, characters were developed enough for the story to feel realistic and the camera work was very satisfactory. For a director with a bad reputation, Uwe Boll did a really good job!
