not based on the video game. It’s about a guy who is fed up with the world, straps on body armor and goes on a killing spree. So far it’s hit some good reviews wich is a first for Uwe.
Thermodynamic miracles…events with odds against so astronomical they’re effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing.
edit: saw the trailer, nope, not Falling Down since D-FENS only purposely kills one person in that movie, the surplus store owner. The guy in the trailer looks like he kills EVERYONE.
How does this possibly look like a good movie? Watch the trailer, then read the first review. In the trailer, the main character comes off as completely contemptible BEFORE you see that he murders tons of innocent people. And the first review calls him “an anti-hero you both thoroughly detest and kind of admire at the same time.” The second review says the movie pretty much sucks except for the “Tons of killing, tons of bullets…” So the reviewers pretty clearly have serious issues, and don’t really give much evidence that this is at all a good movie (unless you are 16 and write revenge fantasies about the “popular kids” in your diary).
On what planet does this even look like a good movie?
Jesus christ its about a guy going around and randomly killing people for the fuck of it. It’s actually kinda fucked up because people have actually done this before.
I have to agree that I don’t see how this can be anything but reprehensible. Uwe Boll doesn’t strike me a filmmaker who can handle this with any insight, much less any craft*. Even the trailer is a bit nauseating, and not just for all the handheld camera work.

Please don’t challenge me to a boxing match for saying so, Uwe!
I don’t know, I guess it’s getting reviewed okay hence the “first good Uwe Boll film” talk, but it seems really tasteless to me. Especially with a director like Boll.
