Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

rmmoul If I could give this 0 stars then I would. The crappy political message of the movie is shoved down your throat from the first few seconds and from there it just gets worse. The acting in this movie is worse than some high-school musicals that I've seen and the overall production and shaky (literally looks like someone who's never held a camera and who also has weak arms) camera work looks worse than most youtube videos. I love action movies, even when the story line is terrible, but this just drags on and may be one of the worse films I've watched in several years.

MaximumMadness I admire Uwe Boll. Honestly. The man loves his job... he loves making movies. And despite the constant (and well-deserved) backlash he received throughout the great majority of his career, he never stopped doing what he loved. So I gotta give the man some major respect. He might have made terrible films, and he might have been a bit... overly "abrasive" and "passionate" when things didn't go his way, but he struggled and fought to do what he wanted. And that's more than many can say. In some ways, it seems all too appropriate for Boll's (alleged) final film to also be the concluding chapter in his genuinely popular "Rampage" trilogy. Since the release of the original film back in 2009, this particular trilogy seemed to be the thing that kept Boll completely and utterly invested in his career as a film director. You can tell that they are perhaps his most personal work and that he's actually putting his heart and soul into their creation. And you get a sense that anything else he's made since 2009 has only been side-projects that he worked on out of obligation.In a strangely subdued narrative in comparison to the trilogy as a whole, we again follow Bill Williamson (played wonderfully by co- writer Brendan Fletcher) as he struggles with the ramifications of his previous "rampages"- most notably his recent assassination of the President of the United States. Williamson is now a father of an infant son, and he worries that his message is being lost by a media that is more focused on his body-count than on his attempts at delivering a misguided message. As the authorities try to crack down on him and take him out once and for all, Bill prepares himself for what might just be his final rampage... Desperately hoping that his philosophies will finally get through to the public once and for all.I wasn't a massive fan of the original film, but I did find it one of Boll's more palatable works and also one of his most stylish. It was a decent enough movie about a man pushed to the brink and lashing out against a society that he feels increasingly oppressed by. However, I found the second installment ("Capital Punishment") to be a preachy mess that was far too in love with its own flawed ideals to really function properly in any capacity. It's musings and ideologies were half-baked and self-aggrandizing nonsense, and it became too obviously a shallow attempt to appeal to the teenaged and 20-something wannabe armchair- revolutionaries that have been popping up more and more recently. Thankfully, I think "President Down" improves on the second chapter and probably sits just below the original. If you enjoyed the first film, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed by its concluding chapter.Star Brendan Fletcher is the main draw for this final chapter, and he's giving it his absolute best shot. I've always really enjoyed Fletcher as a performer, and it's really a shame that he's not more widely recognized and is constantly saddled in low- budget B-movie roles- the guy can act his heart out and has a lot of appeal. I also feel Fletcher's contributions to the writing are invaluable, given his insight into the character of Bill Williamson. It was also quite clever for the film to spend more time with Bill as a person first and a "terrorist" second. It gave the film more of an emotional impact... something that was desperately lacking in the previous installment. You actually do kind of care about Bill this time around, psychotic thought he may be. It's quite ambitious, being Boll's most character- intensive work to date.Unfortunately, the film suffers for Boll's continued wonky direction, his obsession with the shaky "morals" on display and a cripplingly low budget. Boll is one of those directors... he seems to understand the "language" of film and can wrap his head around what works and doesn't work on a technical level. But he doesn't seem to grasp how to use this knowledge to put together a scene. And thus, the film comes off as amateurish as ever from a directorial standpoint. Much like many of his recent film, he relies on shaky-cam style camera-work to a fault, and seems afraid to let any shot go on for more than a few seconds, which gets distracting far too often. His sense of story structure is also pretty suspect, as is his continued insistence to try and elevate the film into something more than it is. You can tell Boll thinks the movie is an important piece of fiction. And he relishes in letting Bill expound ridiculous amounts of preaching dialog warning of the dangers of the social and political institutions at play. But it's all common knowledge for anyone with half a brain. And given that this is the same film series where Bill executed a woman over yoga of all things in the second entry, it comes off as flat and "false." You can't take it seriously. And good lord, do the budget cuts show on-screen. The film is laughably cheap-looking, with the majority of sequences taking place in the same three or four small, cramped rooms and the big, titular "rampage" being a mere portion of what was on-display in the other installments.Still, I do think that the ambition on display with the honest attempts at character development and the powerhouse performance by Brendan Fletcher make it worth it a go if you were a fan of the previous films. It might not quite measure up to the depraved insanity of the original, but it's at least watchable and serves as an appropriate cap to the trilogy. And for film buffs, it's worth seeing as the supposed final film from one of cinema's most infamous figures. Part of me will miss you, Boll.I give "Rampage: President Down" a sub-par but watchable 4 out of 10.

Erik There are many movies that can tip the tables in the favor one company over another. This is definitely not one of those movies.Where to begin, how about the fact that the protagonist is a terrorist but is apparently portrayed as the good guy. The movie is very anti-rich and assumes that the majority must resort to violence in order to have a say in what happens. Everyone believes the rich can only get rich because they have broken the rules to do it. However someone can get rich because they make something like the safety pin.The production value is terrible, the reused the news set for the FBI HQ. That would be fine if it weren't for the fact that the set was terrible to begin with. They didn't even change a single thing about it. And the news itself doesn't come close to something that can convince you it is an actual news network.In addition the guns don't sound like guns when they fire and when there is an explosion you don't see any damage on someone who was caught in it. The same holds true for bullets Many thing aren't addressed, such as how the protagonist was able to get things such as land mines and rpgs.The acting IS something to write home about though, but not in a good way. It is slow and dull and I don't know if this was their idea or not, but it seems like they tried to spice it up with excessive swearing. Seriously, how many F-bombs do you need? Anyway, the film ends with riots in the streets as people are killing anyone who is doing better than them (they say the rich, but no one looked like an aristocratic). Furthermore, they blame it all on "Right Wing Anarchists." It also uses the stereotype of a white bald guy with a gun as one of these terrorists.I would continue more and try and take apart this film piece by piece but 1,000 words isn't enough to tell you how bad this movie is. Plus I don't want to dwell on this movie any longer as it literally gave me a head ache.If I had a physical copy of this movie I would put it in the burn barrel, light it on fire, pour gasoline on it, light the flames on fire, take it's ashes and then burn those. I would then take the ashes' ashes, put them in a jar, send them to the director and writer and burn those.So to sum up: I don't like this movie.

AJ598 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.
