Rampage: President Down

I enjoyed the movie but it almost comes off as a training/inspirational video for Communists/Anarchists like the Antifa scumbags who have been polluting our streets. Especially at the end, it got particularly ridiculous when the love of his life actually states that he wasn't a terrorist. LOL. Then the dumbass news bitch actually calls him a RIGHT-wing anarchist. OBVIOUSLY he was a left-wing nutcase although a pretty bad-ass one. Antifa's time will come and I will surely enjoy contributing to it.

I've enjoyed the first two movies in this series incredibly.

However this particular film ends in utter nonsense.

It is a movie about an extreme left-wing radical and yet, they make a bold claim in the final scenes regarding right-wing terrorists which completely negates the entire premise of the film. Right when I was about to finish watching, satisfied with the content, they throw this statement into the film which completely destroys the continuity of the story.

That being said, if you would like to see a movie about a terrorist democrat, it's a good watch. Far from the quality of the previous two however.

That's what I would describe the latest (and hopefully last) entry of the Rampage series from director Uwe Boll. This recent film is a huge disappointment given previous films like Postal, the first Rampage, Assault on Wall Street, and Tunnel Rats 1968 seemed to signal a maturation as a filmmaker.

This film focuses on Bill Williamson solidifying his legacy as a voice for the oppressed, but ends up coming off as a Che Guevara by way of Osama Bin Laden. He's a terrorist who somehow successfully assassinated the President and others in the Federal Govt. And we're also supposed to believe that Williamson's followers would have infiltrated the federal agencies trying to track him down, essentially nerfing them. This is a fantasy movie with little to no basis in reality.

The film mostly covers Williamson proselytizing to his followers and the FBI trying to find him. The screenplay was written by Boll and actor Brendan Fletcher, who plays Williamson. This is basically Boll stroking his own ego, trying to show the world he knows what needs to be done to make our planet a better place. He tries to make Williamson a sympathetic figure with moments showing him as a father and husband. Makes sense. Some women have wanted to be the wife of Charles Manson or Richard Ramirez.

As a viewer, I was more sympathetic to the FBI agents, Molokai and Jones. They were given depth. We knew about them, they became more relatable. They were real compared to the cartoonish Williamson.

What struck me the most was the fixation of explosions and violence done to police. Yeah, some cops are dirty and corrupt, just like anyone of any race, creed, what have you. We see so many shots of them flying through the air and being blasted with gunfire. This is anarchy cop murder porn.

The first Rampage film was an interesting look at a nihilist becoming a mass murderer, and how ideology can lead to extremism. And that's where the series should have ended, by not becoming a series.

I would rate this two stars because Steve Baran and Ryan McDonell as the two FBI leads are the stand outs and deserve to be in a better film.

From IMDB: "Bill Williamson returns to bring down the president of the United States and his Secret Service detail. "

Director: Uwe Boll Writers: Uwe Boll, Brendan Fletcher Stars: Brendan Fletcher, Bruce Blain, Loretta Walsh.

I have to admit that when I saw the 'Director' was Uwe Boll, my heart sank.

Why? Because (let's just say) his movies over the last two decades have lacked a few things: Decent plot, good actors, Direction and Cinematography.

However, IF the weather is bad, or (like me) you've kinda watched much that is good on Streaming - you may give this a go - with reservations.

Candidly after our main Protagonist recited his 'manifesto', I fast forwarded to the action - and there was some. Basically a 'Cat and Mouse' with The Federales, and how his Army training helped him to avoid same; with loud results.

To say much more would give away the plot (there is a bit of one, yes), so grab the popcorn, curl up and take your chances, this may/not be for you.

Not destined to wide audiences, as you may guess if you already know Uwe Boll's filmography and style, way of filming. The most nihilistic film maker of the modern movie industry. This director should have existed in the late sixties and early seventies...The directing and acting are as usual ankward, I would say lousy, but I have always followed Uwe Boll's films, with more or less pleasure, I admit. But no director is flawless, don't forget this. However, I will always prefer this to any Hollywoodian action film, already monitored by the true studios owners, the Wall Street, stock exchange lawyers and bankers only interested in gross, nothing but the gross. In this story, you may have in front of your eyes, anything you could have expected before. No filter, no director's cut, Uwe Boll is on the loose, on rampage. Be prepared.
