Review of Rampage (2009) by Derek D — 23 Jun 2010

Want to thank my friends Dwight and Theresa for reccomending this film. A very disturbing film made even more creepy by the fact that it feels so real, and given the "downward spiral" of humanity right now, people are at their brink and something like this may eventually become more common. It's a guilty pleasure that you know you shouldn't enjoy because of the horrible things that happen in this film. But actor Brendan Fletcher does such a great job in making you relate to his character that you can't help but sympathize and even root for him, despite the diabolic things his character does in this film.

One interesting thing about this film is that it is director by Uwe Boll, who is considered one of the worst filmmakers of our time. For those of you who don't know who he is , he is responsible for several horrible movie adaptations of video games like, "Bloodrayne," and "BloodRayne 2," "House of the Dead," "FarCry," "Postal," just to name a few. There was even a online petition to get him to stop making movies and that if it reach a few million signatures then he even agreed that he would stop, it never came to be. However, with this film he has finally achieved some simblance of quality filmmaking and I'm going to go out and call this film his "Masterpiece".

Some people are going to find this movie absolutely revolting because of it's subject matter, but for me I consider this film the "Taxi Driver" of our generation.
