Rampage (Uwe Boll - 2009)
The film is about a guy on a killing spree. A frustrated youngster walks around in a city with machine guns and kills so many he can. The body count is comparable to the massacre in Norway last year, but this guy is no Anders Behring Breivik. The killer has no ideology and neither has the film. There is a general feeling that society is “fucked up”, but that doesn’t go deep.
The film has an art-house/realism style of “just showing events without narrating”. This reference to quality cinema can give the impression that the film is more significant than it is. For me the whole thing seemed a bit superficial.
