Assault on Wallstreet is a good story of the depth of the stock-market and how it influences the local citizens. This is a good story revealing how it must be for the little man and how the little man loses all while the financial elite continue to live a high quality of life on Wall-Street. The male lead character is not happy being a poor man as the rich get richer. This movie shows the emotion, anger and pain it feels like to be helpless in a seemingly rigged financial USA system. The depth that the lead male character goes through is intense, as he does not stop with one mishap (the assault and taxi hit and run situation). This movie is able to bring a human face to the financial crisis. Perhaps that is what the director intended on doing. The message came loud and clear to me: for some life deals a raw hand of cards.

You wonder why you never heard about this movie before? You wonder why there are no "huge" stars featured in this movie? You wonder why there's not a "huge" studio backing this movie? You wonder about the miserable critics - e.g. in newspapers - on this movie?This movie is not about the craftsmanship of filmmaking or storytelling, it's not about neat special effects or entertaining jokes. It's about completely everything of yesterday, today and tomorrow of everybody. There is one central question asked in this film: Why are/have there not been more people supporting Occupy Wall Street or at least their message?And here's what i guess why: A lot of you still believe in the so called 'american dream', where everybody could become everything if he only would work hard enough. That's why so many people are defending the plutocratic system that's oppressing the 99.99% of the world and especially the U.S. They are convinced there will come the day, when they will be part of the beneficiaries of this system.Spoiler: They won't. Ever. No matter what they try.Watch the movie, get incredibly emotional and think what you want about the ending - but much more important: Think about what's happening with us.

"The real criminals are downtown on Wall Street wearing suits that cost more then any of us make in a year and they steal more money the anyone on Rikers Island ever dreamed of." Jim Baxford (Purcell) is a hard working man with a very sick wife. When advice he took ends with him losing all his money when the stock market tanked his life begins to spiral out of control. When he loses everything he snaps, and no one is safe. This is a movie that will make you feel many different types of emotions, mostly anger. An everyman gets screwed over and the bad news seems to pile on him again and again and finally does what some have only dreamed of. This is another movie that I do not advocate what he does, but it sure is fun to watch. This movie reminded me a lot of Falling Down in the way that that character also snapped and does things that I have always wanted to. By the time he snaps you really feel for him and are almost happy he does. I really liked this and I recommend the movie highly. Overall, one of the best B movies I have seen and Uwe Boll's best movie to date. I give this an A-.

From the beginning you can find out this movie is an another B-movie (Direct-To-DVD).Cinematography was very bad, plot wasn't good, directing was weak. Dominic Purcell did an average acting (too much "Stone face").It's an another boring vigilante revenge movie!!There was no positive feels or contents, just negativity!!! With this kinda movies you wanna stop violence and gun issues!!!!If you are a logical person so this movie just waste your time. But if you are an extreme person maybe you like it.Everything was predictable with too excessive violence.I think the only good thing about this one was showing effects of financial crisis on weak people.
