In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I hate to be clichéd and write a one star review, but this movie was F**king horrid. First off not even counting the awful technical aspects, this movie is devoid of any feeling other than pretentiousness and weak a** characters. The main "protagonist" has no motivation to commit anything in the film, (the film maker throws in fear mongering audio montages in place of motivation and depth). The technical aspects are just as weak as the characters, its like it's shot on an early 2000s quality hand-held camera, the quality of picture changes from shot to shot (480p to 720p). and the action is horribly chopped up. This is disgusting and is only made for shock value, If you gave a depressed violent teenager "going through a phase" a camera, this would be the result. weak story, weak characters, weak direction, and pretentious symbolism to make even college art film students roll their eyes.

My quick rating - 6,3/10. Basically the same movie as the sequel (which I accidentally watched first).Basically a young adult goes against the system and goes on a killing spree to try and teach the world a lesson. There is plenty of propaganda in this movie, but it isn't that far off,just a tad bit too extreme. Still entertaining, albeit violent and mean spirited. Extra couple tenths of a point for an interesting end(easy to guess) and a slight bit better job acting. Oh, and always nice to see max headroom" in a movie LOLHopefully Uwe Boll can continue the upward mobility in movie making, since his last 3 that I have seen have been pretty good, and that is hard to say with a straight face after the crap he has made in the past, but still true.

Maybe i went into it with the wrong expectations. I knew Uwe Boll is not a good director. In fact i think he is really terrible. I wanted a stupid and brutal movie about a guy going on a killing spree.I got a movie where maybe 1/3 is the killing spree, without gore or extensive blood. The other 2/3 where complete nonsense with the most stupid reason to go on a killing spree i have ever heard of or could imagine, A really boring back story and characters that are as forgettable as it gets.This is one of the movies that are not even so bad they are funny, this is just a complete waste of time. I can not understand the rating on this site, it is way too high, i give 2/10 points.

(0%) Mr Boll, quite frankly you have outdone yourself. Because I had you down as a 99% talent free joke of a film-maker, with a misfiring, broken sense of humour, and a cack-handed ear for writing, combined with a clueless eye for direction. But you're not, you are as a matter of fact also a slightly evil man too. This in all complete honesty is a true contender for one of the worst films of all time. The plot follows a pasty-faced Brendan Fletcher annoyed with the ENTIRE population of the world because he gets a sub-par coffee (poor little lamb), his boss is unappreciative of his labour (as opposed to what exactly?) and his parents want him to go back to college (the bastards!). I just don't get it, what is his problem? Whatever it is I very much doubt idiot Boll is the man to explain it. So what follows is a combination of implausibility (his purpose-built home-made bulletproof suit more or less appears out of thin air. Which begs the question "Why didn't he go the whole hog and build a jet-pack to go with it, or a jet-tank?"), awful super shaky cam direction, and a morally repugnant concept that, if anything, is even more awful and nasty than it first sounds. Who the hell is this movie for? Not action fans as the "action" parts are just plain horrible to watch, and utterly tasteless in the worst possible sense. Not horror fans either as this has zero tension throughout as you know exactly what's coming through Mr Boll himself ruining the ending only about 5 mins in. Above all though it's just such a joyless, flat, nasty piece of work that doesn't even pass as a failed satire on messed up American kids with guns as it's not even remotely trying to be a satire, it's nothing besides Boll's own personal fetishisation of a taboo and sensitive subject. There's movies I love, movies I think are bad/good, and then there are movies I actually hate. This is one of them. A terrible, terrible example of low-end attention hungry crap cinema.
