annuskavdpol Assault on Wallstreet is a good story of the depth of the stock-market and how it influences the local citizens. This is a good story revealing how it must be for the little man and how the little man loses all while the financial elite continue to live a high quality of life on Wall-Street. The male lead character is not happy being a poor man as the rich get richer. This movie shows the emotion, anger and pain it feels like to be helpless in a seemingly rigged financial USA system. The depth that the lead male character goes through is intense, as he does not stop with one mishap (the assault and taxi hit and run situation). This movie is able to bring a human face to the financial crisis. Perhaps that is what the director intended on doing. The message came loud and clear to me: for some life deals a raw hand of cards.
isthisusernametakenyet You wonder why you never heard about this movie before? You wonder why there are no "huge" stars featured in this movie? You wonder why there's not a "huge" studio backing this movie? You wonder about the miserable critics - e.g. in newspapers - on this movie?This movie is not about the craftsmanship of filmmaking or storytelling, it's not about neat special effects or entertaining jokes. It's about completely everything of yesterday, today and tomorrow of everybody. There is one central question asked in this film: Why are/have there not been more people supporting Occupy Wall Street or at least their message?And here's what i guess why: A lot of you still believe in the so called 'american dream', where everybody could become everything if he only would work hard enough. That's why so many people are defending the plutocratic system that's oppressing the 99.99% of the world and especially the U.S. They are convinced there will come the day, when they will be part of the beneficiaries of this system.Spoiler: They won't. Ever. No matter what they try.Watch the movie, get incredibly emotional and think what you want about the ending - but much more important: Think about what's happening with us.
rickardexner This was a good film because of Dominic Purcell's character and acting. Anti-hero hero. Here's a guy who should play Jack Reacher in coming movies!!! He is so ruthless and raw but still you feel that he's got the right. He feels so simple and almost a bit ...behind... but still he rules. The action is pure and straight forward and the film is just perfectly balanced between depth and raw entertainment. It really takes up a relevant subject that have influenced a lot of people and will keep on doing. I mean who doesn't like a pay back, revenge, take it in your own hands story? And the end is perfect. But still .. what I want to highlight most is Dominic Purcell. It' s very strange how Tom Cruise can be casted as Jack Reacher when Dominic IS this guy. Makes you wonder if they just buy their roles, the rich guys. Dominic rules!
Philip Schroeder I just watched Bailout: The Age of Greed, and I must say it has been a long time since I last watched such a propaganda filled, poorly acted piece of sh*t. The movie actually starts out great, and we get the back-story of how f*ck-ed our main protagonists' life is f*ck-ed. His wife is recovering from some deadly disease, although it is never told what disease it is, and we just hear about all the crazy expensive medication she needs to recover fully. Meanwhile, our ''hero's'' bank is going bankrupt and that leads them to f*ck the clients who t'bought their fake stocks? It's confusing and seems like Uwe just chose to change the reason the bank f*cks it's clients mid-film so that his genius masterpiece would rally up the people who are actually believing everything from this poorly excuse of a film. Anyway, the first hour we're just following the miserable journey of Jim, who's life only seems to get worse. Eventually, Jim decides to go on a rampage and basically kill everyone he sees in a suit because suits = evil puppet of cooperation. The movie ends very stereotypically with Jim holding some speech of righteousness where he is proclaiming that if the system is not taking care of these banks he will, cause he is the soldier of the people. A real vigilante. Now, you may be thinking that Uwe Boll is some amazing society critic that knows just what he is talking about. but he's not. He's Uwe Boll. The man who raged at the internet because we wouldn't fund his shitty movie. Uwe Boll doesn't know the concept of a vigilante, but a vigilante doesn't kill at least 30 people that there may be the slightest doubt of innocence in. Don't watch this movie unless you want to laugh at how smart Uwe Boll thinks he is.
