This movie got a lot right, but it got a lot wrong too. The main character ranted about leftist worries, but was labeled a right-wing extremist in the movie. No, this guy was a leftist. Hollywood loves to label anyone with a gun a right wing extremist. Not only is that wrong, it's stupid. Other than that, the movie was actually quite good. Well written, and the actors did a good job in portraying their characters. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone that likes action/adventure type of movies.

absolutely amazing, much better than the second, favorite movie series ever!

By the third Rampage film, I finally understood Uwe Boll’s approach. He isn’t trying to make polished thrillers. He’s trying to make them as quickly and inexpensively as possible while using the films as a platform for whatever political frustrations are on his mind. Unfortunately, that philosophy shows in almost every aspect of the production. Technically, very little has improved since the first film. The budget is still modest, the handheld camerawork remains as frantic as ever, and Boll continues recycling footage from previous films. He also repeatedly jumps backward and forward in time to insert action scenes, a technique that might work once or twice but quickly becomes distracting through repetition. The performances don’t help. Brendan Fletcher again commits himself fully to Bill Williamson, but many of the supporting actors feel more like placeholders than believable people. The film also struggles with authenticity. Moments like a SWAT officer awkwardly signaling “shhh,” television reporters reading from obvious sheets of paper, or the President being transported in an ordinary ambulance instead of a heavily protected motorcade pull you out of the story. The biggest disappointment, however, is Bill’s message. Once again, Boll has an opportunity to sharpen his social commentary, but instead it becomes a whirlwind of loosely connected grievances. The film touches on wealth inequality, corrupt politicians, American foreign policy, terrorism, policing, religion, race, and gun control, yet never develops any one idea deeply enough to leave a lasting impression. Rather than building a coherent argument, it feels like a list of complaints thrown into a blender. The movie also can’t decide what it wants to be. Is it an action thriller? A political satire? A family drama? A cat-and-mouse chase? By trying to juggle all of them, none receives the attention it deserves. A tighter focus on a single genre would have produced a much stronger film. Bill himself has evolved into something resembling a dark, nihilistic Batman, equipped with endless gadgets, elaborate plans, and seemingly unlimited resources, while the FBI, SWAT, and local police are portrayed as so incompetent that the conflict borders on parody. By the end, I found myself asking the same question the movie never convincingly answers: What is Bill actually trying to accomplish? Is it revolution? Anarchy? Revenge? The trilogy hints at all of these but commits to none. That’s ultimately what holds Rampage: President Down back. It has plenty to say, but never finds a clear voice with which to say it. Compared with films like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which offers a disturbingly focused portrait of one man’s violence without losing sight of its purpose, President Down feels scattered and unfocused. The ideas are there, but they’re buried beneath rushed filmmaking and an identity crisis that the trilogy never fully resolves.

Bill really got his money’s worth out of that homemade armor didn’t he? Odd franchise but more relevant now than ever. Scary that people believe so many out-there conspiracy theories. You can pigeon hole anything if you really want to. Anything can be justified if you allow it. Idle hands!

Third in the _Rampage_ franchise (and I suppose the final one?) and while it was entertaining, I found this one to be much more about the anti-establishment propaganda message than just the wanton violence of the original. It actually seemed, in this film, that Uwe Boll was actually trying to push some kind of agenda across…minus the random bloodshed, of course. To me, that sort of detracted from the original film's "beauty" of just a ruthless, unhinged, psychotic free-for-all. I mean, maybe this one hit too close to home to be comfortable because you know there really are some twisted minds out there (come on, who thought up THIS film?!) that have some sort of repressed urge to do the "Bill Williamson" thing and get away with it. It was easier - for some bizarre reason - to accept the original _Rampage_ film as just some "kid" who snapped and went off, whereas this one seemed far too politically motivated and anti-establishment to just sit back and laugh at all the killing. Some of what was espoused in this movie as "facts" may have had a ring of truth; some of it, in fact, may be the real truth: I've been reading a lot of biographies and history of America's "founding fathers" and found much of what "Bill" said in one of his many diatribes to be true (according to history...but who's to say that our printed history books are factual?) regarding the founding of this nation and how it was cultivated on slave labor, etc etc. All that aside, however, I was just hoping for another shooting spree sans all the anti-establishment, anti-God rhetoric. This was good, but it was too "preachy" to even compare to the cold-blooded anarchic tone of the original. Worth watching if you like the _Rampage_ movie (the first and second) and just want to finish the trilogy, but apart from that, it was just another _"Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out...wait, there's no God, so just kill 'em all anyway."_ movie.
