Big Rage

Note to HereTV!: a couple of hot guys and some awkwardly staged fight scenes does NOT make a "gay noir thriller". You need an actual plot, at least moderately engaging characters, and a screenwriter who can write human-sounding dialogue. Alas, this heavily-promoted "thriller" has none of those. As much as we might enjoy seeing Fabian Arnold running around shirtless and (very briefly) kissing another hunky guy, that doesn't make for an actual gay thriller. A thread-bare attempt at a plot, and bleak/fugly settings in the Southern California desert. Once again, 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Thanks for nothing, HereTV.

Big Rage is a masterclass in ensemble performance, with every actor bringing their A-game to this gripping action noir. Fabian Arnold delivers a powerful, charismatic performance that adds emotional intensity and keeps the audience invested at every turn. David Millbern provides a strong, grounded presence, lending a quiet complexity to his character that complements Arnold's energy.

The supporting cast is exceptional, each actor adding depth and nuance, making every character feel essential to the story. This talented ensemble brings both grit and authenticity, creating a world that feels as raw as it is thrilling. The cast's chemistry and commitment to their roles elevate Big Rage from a standard thriller to something truly special.

If you're looking for an action-packed film with unforgettable performances, Big Rage is an absolute must-see. This team of actors brings dynamic energy and emotion to every scene, making for a thrilling and memorable viewing experience!

Boy, did I like this movie.

Was there a script? My brain hurts now. Nonsense from beginning to end. Didn't even laugh... it was so bad. Leafy treetops reflecting in the windshield while driving in the desert? Goofs galore, no sense of direction, after school special quality dialogue, weird monologues that change course and come back, no points made, totally random scenes, no continuity, same house used for supposed different locations. Felt like it was shot in one afternoon. No character development. No chemistry between actors. No "timescaping" whatsoever. Forced progression of "story"... that doesn't even have a "wait for it" moment. Maybe if they had done a musical instead?

Someone had money to waste?

Unbelievable! Must be seen to be believed. Rivals the worst dialogue and directing since the late great Ed Wood.

All of the performances are so uniformly awful that it would be unkind to single anyone out. It is even possible that some of them could act with a competent director and a halfway literate script.

I was attracted to this movie because the Salton Sea is a fascinating phenomenon that I don't recall being used in another movie. The lithium angle sounded promising. And the absurdly high rating was misleading.

I suspect the positive ratings and reviews all came from friends of the director, writer, and actors.

It could become a cult favorite like The Room. See it for laughs.

I saw this movie in Palm Springs at the LGBTQ film festival.

It was the best film I saw! The storyline,writing,cast and cinematography were exceptional for any genre. I loved it. This movie had it all. I found it to be humorous, heartfelt, action packed, aesthetically pleasing and never a dull moment. The cast were a very complementary ensemble. Each character seemed to enhance the film in multiple ways. I guess by now you can see I really enjoyed this film! Kind of a "Brokeback Mountain meets "Rocky" with some humor. I wasn't bored for one minute.

The leading stars of the movie were hot as hell and very talented as well. I expect to see them more in the future.
