I Am Rage

The critics are being too hard on this. It's a certain type of movie that you either mess with or you don't. I actually liked it! You can't go into something like this expecting a masterpiece and it was way better than expected. I mean maybe because I'm all for a woman kicking men's butts but I thought the fight scenes were pretty good for a low budget film and I liked the main characters back story. All except for the last couple of unbelievable deaths which got a bit campy, It was fun at the least. Nothing more to really say! I don't like that this thing is making me try and find things to say to meet the word requirement.

The way the movie started, I felt it might be a real loser. A man, clearly beaten, manages to escape his binds, and then gets into a fight with one of the captors. He manages to get a knife, but hesitates, which of course is a bad idea. It then switches to Adam picking up Erin to go to his parents house, which is very isolated. On the way, they pick up his brother Michael and Sarah. The parents seem a bit strange, and at dinner offer their special drink. Of course it is drugged, as the parents are in the business of harvesting blood, rich in adrenaline, which they get by terrorizing their captives. And they have apparently a basement full of captives. But it turns out Erin is not just some young woman. At age 4, she was kidnapped, tortured and abused for 15 years before she could make her escape. And her captors didn't fare well. There is plenty of gore, blood and killings which should satisfy most viewers. It is basically an action film to be accepted on that basis.

If you want a movie that's so bad it eventually entertains, this is the one for you. Starts pretty incoherently with odd thing happening after odd thing happening. Characters make ridiculous decisions and dismiss obvious red flags. As a viewer, I challenge you to discover if you are in England or America. Car and license plates - Europe. Lead character, British accent. Everyone else? American. Yet somehow the family's been there since 1863? Shrug. However, when the action finally starts it's so bad it's good. It's a direct rip off of "The Most Dangerous Game" complete with a Count Zaroff character. Enjoy.

Wow...just wow how bad this movie is. The acting is just so horrible. The characters are all pathetic....the storyline is just so stupid. Selling blood to customers ? So ludicrous. You try to like the main actress and the revenge factor, the the story is just so stupid that you really don't care about any of it. How these movies get financed is beyond me. People really don't have anything else to do with their money besides make this garbage ? Unbelievably, I managed to waste 90 minutes of my life watching this absolute trash. Avoid this horrible junk at all cost...stupid stupid movie. The end.

Some years ago, I remember watching BECKY. This movie has some of the feels from that other movie. It doesn't speed through at all. A big action film, this is not. It's a slow burn that will deliver on most of its promises, but asks for a little work along the way.

But they do put in a couple of really odd and surly performances to keep you busy with the obvious: are all these people after the same thing?

In my humble opinion, you can't ask much more from a film that encompasses The Hunt with a touch of Becky and Wolf's Creek. It delivers its biggest promises, even though it falls short of making some of the bad guys as "bad" as they can be.
