"I'll tell you what this is... a mind control dictatorship. A costume of democracy. The perfect brainwashing media machine."
In this sequel, Bill Williamson shifts his anger to capitalist oligarchs and imperialists, focuses on the reality they've created, and forcefully uses their controlled news medium to spread his message; in an attempt to try and shatter that reality for the oblivious populace - With the hopes of creating reform, and a world where our primary interests are taking care of our planet and each other.
There's still some black humor, like the bingo scene from the original. For example, someone is forced into yoga at gunpoint. The writing definitely screams Uwe Boll - his message's are sometimes contradictory, the writing…
Subtle as a brick to the face but an entertaining brick nonetheless. Uwe Boll has fire in his belly and shows that he can actually do this filmmaking thing.
That poster is a little misleading.
I'm gonna have to sue Uwe Boll for not paying me to base this movie on my livejournal I had when I was 15.
This movie is so full of weird contradictory edgy "woke" chat. The main character calls the Constitution "worthless" then, like 2 seconds later complains that the government has taken away his constitutional rights. And then there's a whole segment where this mass murderer talks about how America needs strict gun laws without even a hint of irony.
Kinda what would happen if Joker from the hit movie Joker directed a movie.
Um filme de incel ancap, no discurso é quase um Batman de Matt Reeves, mas sem um homem morcego.
A liberdade criativa recheada com discurso de ódio.
O ano é 2014, pré ascensão de Trump, com a Fox News em quase todos os lares, o filme ataca a democracia não só com discursos de ódio mas com assassinatos em massa.
Apoiado numa mensagem que ataca o livre acesso às armas, a falta de um sistema de saúde universal, prega a prisão de Obama, culpa a CNN pelos males da sociedade e defende a execução em praça pública da elite dominante, o filme usa alguns discursos da esquerda para validar o seu ponto de vista de independência entre esquerda e direita para fazer apologia a ruptura radical do sistema e "acabar com tudo isso taokey".
“How can there be no gun control with so many massacres?”
-Bill Williamson protesting to the audience after literally murdering innocents to get his message across.
“The guy is totally right”
-no joke, Uwe Boll himself as a shitty producer who gets killed by his own protagonist in the end (such a self-own I wasn’t expecting from him)
Un-fucking-rateable
Neil Breen-level social commentary.
These movies work as a way for Boll to show all his frustrations towards, well, everything.
And you get a lot of that: Brendan Fletcher (in another fantastic performance, gonna admit) goes in a rant about the Bush and Obama administration, how democracy is broken to the core and how is just another form of autocracy, only…
Brendan Fletcher is back and as fantastic as ever! A different vibe to the first movie, there’s definitely a greater focus on the psychological aspect, and the action is very much secondary or even third. As a movie, it’s equal to the first, but for me didn’t hit the mark as nicely, relying too heavily on monologues.
This is genius, I don’t care, I’ll see you all in 30 years when this is considered “ahead of its time”. Boll really knows how to make politics fun, Adam McKay wishes he could be like this. This is also what Todd Phillips wanted his Joker to be. Also Boll’s cameo here is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. A director cameo as good as Scorsese in Taxi Driver. It’s crazy how self-aware the film is, almost to the point of parody, but it’s also insane how there’s some good points and thought-provoking stuff thrown here and then. The movie feels like a debate, a criticism of everything wrong with the world right now, narrated by a fictitious mass…
RAMPAGE: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (2014)
"A man takes over a TV station and holds a number of hostages as a political platform to awaken humanity, instead of money."
What is the central appeal of this movie? No seriously, I'm asking. I don't find this shit fascinating; if anything it's downright infuriating!
Instead of a well-balanced character study with ambiguous motives, we get a whiny J.D. Salinger motherfucker in paintball gear and Kevlar armor citing absurd political statements that try to sound edgy and cool, but fails miserably. Brendan Fletcher is a great actor and he does deliver an impressive performance, but the problem is the role he plays is written with so much ineptitude. Uwe Boll really displays some inner demons,…
