Despite the fact that the directing is definitely awkward, I also definitely like this movie, and the previous one. Bloodbathing and somewhere gratuitous violence show, I totally agree, this remains a very realistic and bold speak against the world of today, a world of hypocrisy and lies, of bribery and people brainwashing, of population slow assasinatioin thru food, starvation and medication, a world of destruction. We of course have different ways of reading this film, at the first or the second degree. Anyway that's an action feature that makes you think, as far as you have a brain to think a little. But if you are a simple sheep in the herd, you will enjoy the bullets holes and corpses, slow motion bomb explosions and gunfights...A must see, but not for all audiences, and not only because of the violence.

Uwe Boll returns to make a sequel to the 2009 movie Rampage which I thought was pretty ace.Brendan Fletcher is as if made for the character he's playing, incredibly convincing as the intelligent sociopathic mass-murderer that we hate to love, his intensity never lets go of the screen and you really believe that he means every word he says.There are a couple things that I'm not sure was the right thing to do which are: having so many flashbacks from the first film, it's just something I don't like to see in a sequel, if you didn't see the first one then tough luck and a lot of it wasn't really necessary either.But I've seen worse examples of flashback-scenes in other movies, at least they were all fairly short.And Uwe Boll decides to cast himself as a movie-producer which is a bit questionable considering that he's not that great of an actor exactly.The dialogue is a little stronger in this one, I know that in the first one most of the dialogue was improvised (which worked better than you might think) but I think in this one most of the dialogue if not all is pre-written if it isn't they did a fantastic job, either way the dialogue is good and makes you think.But overall it was fairly enjoyable, I would rate it a 6.5/10 rounded up to a 7; pretty good but not amazing, however if you liked the first one of course you should watch this as well.

The plot of the movie is thin and is easy to sum up: A deranged psychopath who kills innocent people for fun and who wears full body armor and carries a ton of guns and a ton of explosives takes the employees of a TV station hostage so as to force them to broadcast his message of violence and anarchy across the world.There, that really IS the entire plot of the movie. I am surprised myself how easy it is to fit it into one sentence (-: Someone wrote on the message board: "Seemed like the movie an angry goth teen would make for an excuse to show a ton of random innocent people get shot." Which actually sums this movie up quite well.But what else did you expect from an Uwe Boll movie? But I have to admit that THIS TIME it actually seemed like making money by showing senseless violence wasn't actually Uwe Boll's only intention. This time his movie actually seems to contain an ideological message too. It actually seems like the whole point of this movie was to get Uwe Boll's own little anarchistic message across which coincidentally seems to be exactly identical to the philosophy of any mentally deranged psychopath/anarchist. How do I know that it is Boll's own message? Well he wrote, directed, produced and played a character in the movie. Of course that alone wouldn't be enough to say it is his own message as you could argue that he simply wanted to show us how a psycho-killer/terrorist justifies his violence against innocent civilians as most terrorists indeed do not see themselves as the perpetrators but blame rich people or some government (and the U.S. is usually on top of such a list). So if exposing the mind of a psychopath would have been Boll's intention, he would have done a good job at it.But that really wasn't his intention. Because for that it would have been enough to give the killer half a minute of screen time go explain his thinking - but Boll gives him like half the time in the movie to explain his "ideology" to us. Also when the killer talks, we see all kinds of newsreel footage that supports his statements. That wasn't done by the TV station in the movie, its not visible to the characters in the movie. Instead those newsreel inserts are actually kinda breaking the 4th wall, as they are only visible to us. Also the way the movie is set up is done so as to give focus to the killer's arguments. The scene where the TV anchor does the interview while being hold hostage himself, could have been an intense climax of the Movie. But Boll intentionally wasted this opportunity to instead have the TV anchor break character and make some weak arguments against the killer. Something a hostage in such a situation would never ever do, because intentionally pissing of the deranged psycho-killer by disagreeing with his stupid hate speech is the last thing a hostage in that situation would do. Also Boll's character even openly agrees with all that the killer says (and Boll is kinda playing himself in this movie anyway as he plays a producer who's only concern is how much money he can make by broadcasting all this violence :-) ) Actually I knew this movie was gonna stink after watching the first few minutes (with Uwe Boll Movies you can usually tell). But when I saw the killer pointing the gun at Uwe Boll I was like "hey this really COULD finally be a great Uwe Boll movie". (-: I guess a lot of people must have thought something like this at that moment (-: But not only does Uwe Boll's character survive, but we have to endure his terrible acting and terrible accent for the rest of the movie )-: And now I finally know that there is something worse than a movie written and directed by Uwe Boll and that is a movie which has Uwe Boll as an actor...I give it 3 stars out of 10. I actually think it deserves much less, especially with Uwe Bolls trademark camera shakes that have you puzzled over why you feel like vomiting when watching his movies. Is it because of all the violence or is it because the camera guy is obviously an epileptic? But, I have to admit Brendan Fletcher's performance was pretty good. Anyone who can still deliver a halfway good performance when directed by Uwe Boll has my deepest admiration.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Having watched the first Rampage, I somewhat knew what to expect. I'm glad that the makers didn't decided to digress Bill's killing sprees to something equivalent to a child with mommy issues. He has a clear goal that he is trying to accomplish. I found myself agreeing with him on every subject. Sometimes it feels like the only way to get through to people is violence. I feel like he could have targeted more important people but that didn't take from the movie at all. The only thing I wish is that someone would give the makers a better budget. Its not low quality. However, it could definitely use some makeup.
