A man with a thirst for revenge builds a full body armor from Kevlar and goes on a killing spree. Rampage is a flick that pushes Boll's own stupidity but also his pack of untalented mess of scripts plus his own political agenda too. I didn't like the main character both in terms of perfomance but also as a character in general cause he was just mad at the world and wanted to kill innocent people like please i've seen way better than this abomination of a movie that Uwe Boll directed. If you wanna see something better? Go and watch the sea it's beautiful. (0/10)

So a guy goes on a rampage and shoots everyone in sight. That part was kinda fun. But why did he do it? The first 20 minutes should give you an insight into the psyche of this maniac...oh, wait it's an Uwe Boll film, so the first 20 minutes the guy goes to fast food restaurants and nags about the cream on his café laté in the local coffee bar and does nothing else of interest. The camera work consists of the most shaky/wobbly hand-held shots I've seen since the Blair Witch project (that was actually a lot better). The camera operator must have come drunk to work each day is my guess. If there was music I did not notice or remember it. The acting is not good. The was actually no script but just a 10 page outline and the rest was improvised on set. And you can tell, coz the actors are blabbering over each others lines which Uwe must have thought made it more natural but it just becomes chaotic and irritating. The lead actor is a (small) dork who has a very stupid looking face (it's true, not kidding). The editing is not great (it uses lots of jump cuts but that's good, it keeps the film short) but the movie is fairly linear so it's hard to mess that up right. All in all not a terrible movie but it could have been much better with a capable director, decent actors and a well fleshed out script. Better next time Uwe!

85 minutes of boredom guaranteed when watching this. I know very little about the director except that he is known for making under average movies. Well this one certainly falls into that category. Story is very simple and basic (something 10 year old would come up with), acting is poor and it just doesn't have any appeal whatsoever. There's not much to say about this film because there is not much happening. And what is happening? A boy builds an armour, orders some guns and goes for rampage and that's it! no really that is it. There's no other story to it, there's hardly any emotions. I couldn't care less about any characters, so people getting massacred didn't really upset me because how bad the film was. Stay away from it, it's not even funny bad it's just distasteful and boring.

I've read the criticisms of Uwe Boll, heck I've seen House of the Dead and it was brutally bad. This movie, on the other hand, was all too good. Uwe Boll shoots and scores on this movie.I'm not a camera guru, but the movie is shot with a home video feel to it. The picture was a touch grainy and not all that crisp like you'd expect from a feature film. That didn't detract from the movie at all.Rampage is, unfortunately, a very familiar story in this day and age. From Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook and, as of a few weeks ago, Isla Vista, and as of a few days ago, Seattle. A young man, just out of high school, is fed up with his life and people in general. So, he deals with it the way some young people have decided to do in recent history; he goes on a shooting spree.The movie does a brilliant job to tear at you much like the movie Falling Down. In other words, in no way would the average person condone random killings, but you are shown the frustrating events that occur to the young man to put him in a violent frame of mind. Ultimately, you can draw your own conclusions about the young man. Maybe some are enthralled by his actions while I know many would be absolutely mortified by his actions. The excellence of this movie was in the developing of this young man/monster.
