Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

chun li "SPIELBERG'S DUEL MEETS HALLOWEEN" - screen spotlight"SENSATIONAL HORROR FILM-MAKING AT ITS FINEST!" - horror unlimited.comSounds good doesn't it?First off, it don't come close to Duel or Halloween. Secondly, I switched it off after 29 minutes.The lead actor is OK. Most of the other actors appear to be friends of friends. The audio has a quality epic feel, but feels really misplaced. Blame it on the director, camera- man, editor, there's something amiss with it. It feels like it was made by someone who probably spent some time in film school. An intermediate.Edit: I did bother to see it through to the end. It took some effort to do so, and no, the film does not improve.

mormonnorman This movie has an interesting premise which made me want to watch it. Unfortunately, the budget, story, acting and skills involved in it's making fell short.Rage reminds me of a mix between The Room and Birdemic in it's execution.The Acting is bland and at times annoying, with a few exceptions. The main protagonist is an unlikable character, with no redeeming qualities. I found myself rooting for the antagonist throughout, with the exception of the protagonist's wife, who seems likely to be the only one in the movie with anything between her ears. Worth a watch if you are inclined to liking bad movies, and/or want a movie to make fun of and laugh at, while picking it apart.

stdly2000 Chris Witherspoon, you are one sick mother, I love this stuff. This is not a high budget movie by any means but wow I really could not stop watching. It is like my tittle says a non stop edge of the seat movie the imagination of the writer is way out there and I hope he has more of this stuff to come in the future. One of my employees and a good friend is of work right now with a broken arm because of road rage he was attacked with an aluminium snow brush and used his arm to block a blow. This is real life road rage to the extreme. I really enjoyed this in a strange way I don't want to sound like a saddest but if you like gruesome in a stretch of a real life scenario you have to watch this movie.

Wilder Movie Reviews I started out making a blog for movie reviews a short while ago for the purpose of making reviews for fans. However, I didn't expect to be sent films to review so soon. I was put in touch with film maker Chris Witherspoon, he is promoting an independent film that he wrote, produced, directed and starred in called Rage. He sent me a copy and asked if I would review it for him. Happily I accepted. This is what being a film critic and reviewer is all about. Then I started to think, an independent film? There are a lot of them around and a lot of them are made by people that believe they possess the talent and ability to make a film, but in reality they fall far short of the mark. To get a good and unbiased opinion of the film I only watched the trailer for it, I left all the promotional material I received alone. The film arrived and with a fair amount of trepidation I put it on.The film is about Dennis, a struggling writer with a loving wife Crystal (Audrey Walker) and a mistress Dana (Anna Lodej). Heading out one day he encounters a figure on a motorcycle in a car park. Pushing the encounter to one side he meets up with Dana. During the meeting he tells her that he loves his wife and breaks off the affair. She doesn't take it all that well. Once back in his car he encounters the biker again and this time the biker scratches his car and rides off. This leads to a game of cat and mouse, where at first Dennis hunts the biker down but the confrontations escalate and Dennis is soon in fear for his life. He now believes that the biker is a former boyfriend of his now ex-lover out for revenge. The biker arrives at Dennis's home and things turn deadly.I went into this with a very open mind. I knew this was an independent film and I didn't expect too much from it. I find this is the best way to view new films. The film started off well with good introductions to the main characters but by the time the second encounter with the biker happened I found myself drawn in to the film. I forgot all about reviewing the film and got engrossed into the story. The film finished and not for a single moment did I feel bored. The pacing of the film is great, the story progresses well and the characters are well written and acted. The biker is menacing and all the more so because you don't really know his motives. The direction is professional and makes good use of lighting and colouring. The effects are very well utilised during the films climax. But the best thing about the movie was the way the story kept you guessing. I thought I had the plot figured out about 5 different times but each time I was wrong. That's what makes a good thriller/horror. There is one particular scene that was emotionally hard to watch but its place in the film drives the story and the terror forward to a new level.You can see with this film that Chris Witherspoon is a very talented film maker. I wish him luck and hope this film has the desired effect and someone takes a chance on his abilities. I would love to see what he could to with a studio backing him. After all Spielberg started out with a movie called Duel about a truck pursuing and terrorising someone.If you get the chance to see this film you really should take the chance. If you do you will see the start of hopefully a very successful film maker.
