Capital Punishment
Brendan Fletcher's character receives messages on his phone from someone named "Tunnel Rat," with the an avatar picture featuring the mask that Dominic Purcell's character wears when he goes on his own murderous rampage in Uwe Boll's previous film, Assault on Wall Street (2013).,During the shootout in the TV studio basement, white BBs fired by the SWAT team can be seen bouncing around Bill and the filing cabinet he is hiding behind.,Bill Williamson: Are you one of those... um... rich housewives. Bored out of their minds. Their nannies do all the work. They have better relationship with your children than you do? And... you know, still you... cause you... you become a yoga teacher. When the children fall and scrape their knee... Who do they run to? They run to their nanny, they don't run to you. What are you going to do? Because you're too busy all being a yoga teacher, right? You think you have a rich husband? Say, he is a lawyer. So he cheats and he double dips his clients. He steals so that you can feel like a better person. Do you feel like a better person when you do yoga? You probably shop at organic fancy foods, buying apples for fucking five dollars a piece, right? You feel like you're doing something good for the world. Let me tell you something. You're not doing any good for the world. Yoga is not good for the world. You know what? Yoga is... It's a gymnastic for the egocentric. Yeah? Botox laden. Reality denying.,Features Rampage (2009),This is my first review of a movie in a long time, so long in fact that my previous user name was forgotten. More recently I've noticed a trend on IMDb that reflects the dawning of a different pedigree of reviewer than previous generations. I felt that I should "take it back" as I have had more and more misgivings about the ratings from this site. Maybe I'm just getting older or maybe the internet generation has wildly different norms than mine. I feel like it is my duty to balance the scale!

I'm neither a fan, if they exist or a hater of Uwe Boll but I believe the rating on this film is higher than it should be. Anyone familiar with Uwe Boll knows that he could care less what people say about his films, which in of itself is both good and bad, at least as a director. Most of his films are NOT very good at all but neither are they as bad as people who hate Boll say.

That said the movie is basically a commentary on particular views of the state of the US, corruption, power, overpopulation, exploitation, and a few other things. Some of it is fairly idiotic though. You could literally summarize most of the key points in a paragraph and not watch the movie unless you were interested in seeing the violence instead, to which you could easily find better. I agreed with most of the points made but the violence the main character seemed to indifferently inflict took away so heavily from the message that rooting for such a deranged character became pointless. This is not saying that I have never imagined myself in a similar scenario, but it makes for a shitty movie when the protagonist shoots anyone he likes just because it makes him feel good. Pretty much a bad guy despite the attempt by Boll to turn him into a anti-hero instead. To give you an idea, this character shares some of the same beliefs as the Joker from The Dark Knight but is not nearly as entertaining, even though acting for the most part was pretty good. The main character is simply one-dimensional, the violence that was meant to be shocking is really not. The only thing left that makes the movie stand is the message. And as I've said it could be summarized into a short paragraph. I have a notion the type of people who would like this film will be angst ridden teenage boys/young men who harbor anti-establishment views and want to ride a chariot of fire. I should know, I was one, but I find the presentation of this adolescent and somewhat psychotic. There is little wisdom here and more nihilism than anything else.,
