Only gave it 2 stars because I laughed a couple times at how bad the direction and production of this movie was. People saying that “you guys just have a weak stomach that’s why you’re giving it a low rating”, I’ve seen way worse things then this and I didn’t even flinch during a singular scene of this god awful movie

I put this on while I was doing other things around the house, not expecting much, and wow! Beyond expectations. Sat and watched the whole movie and immediately followed it up with the sequel!

If you want some nililistic entertainment with some of the usual social messages.

What if John Wick had no code, no honor, and believed mass murder was a legitimate way to fix society? That’s essentially the origin story Uwe Boll explores here. Bill Williamson isn’t a tragic antihero. He’s a man with a deeply warped worldview who thinks he’s found the answer to humanity’s problems. Ironically, the violence isn’t the film’s greatest strength. It’s Bill’s conversations. Some of his dialogue is surprisingly engaging, and I found myself wishing Boll had invested more time refining those philosophical exchanges instead of simply moving on to the next shooting. Whether you agree with Bill or not, he isn’t portrayed as a mindless monster. He has a twisted internal logic, which makes him far more unsettling. The film could have benefited from more character development, especially between Bill and his best friend Evan. Their relationship had the potential to add emotional weight and provide insight into how someone like Bill became who he is. Technically, the movie shows its modest budget. The handheld camera work is often distracting, the editing is rough around the edges, and the acting is mostly serviceable rather than exceptional. Brendan Fletcher commits completely to the role, even if his performance occasionally feels uneven. His dedication carries much of the film. One thing I appreciated was Boll’s restraint. Despite the subject matter, he doesn’t endlessly revel in the bloodshed. The shootings and explosions are brutal but relatively matter-of-fact, making the violence feel more disturbing than entertaining. Given today’s reality of recurring mass shootings, Rampage can be an uncomfortable watch. Thankfully, whatever political statement Boll wanted to make isn’t relentlessly hammered into the audience. The film presents its disturbing ideas and largely leaves viewers to wrestle with them on their own. Rampage isn’t a polished film. It’s rough, uneven, and technically flawed. But beneath its low-budget exterior is an unsettling character study of a man who believes he’s saving the world by destroying it. That idea lingers long after the credits roll, even if the filmmaking itself doesn’t always rise to the same level.

An Uwe Boll movie that's not half bad (check out the bingo sequence) Now I've seen it all
