Big Rage

Unbelievable! Must be seen to be believed. Rivals the worst dialogue and directing since the late great Ed Wood.

All of the performances are so uniformly awful that it would be unkind to single anyone out. It is even possible that some of them could act with a competent director and a halfway literate script.

I was attracted to this movie because the Salton Sea is a fascinating phenomenon that I don't recall being used in another movie. The lithium angle sounded promising. And the absurdly high rating was misleading.

I suspect the positive ratings and reviews all came from friends of the director, writer, and actors.

It could become a cult favorite like The Room. See it for laughs.

Film was very well done and I enjoyed the actor's performance greatly !! The arcs in the film enhance the story line and create a sense of one's ability to relate to the characters goal and reel in one's feelings so you start to feel what they feel !! I love how this movie actually moved me and I am looking forward to seeing a sequel to this film because I found it to be unique and very well done from the writing to each of the characters performances. It started out strong and built up the peak then landed with a strong ending that left me feeling it was complete but I longed and yearned for more and more so I am looking forward to a sequel if possible !

Was there a script? My brain hurts now. Nonsense from beginning to end. Didn't even laugh... it was so bad. Leafy treetops reflecting in the windshield while driving in the desert? Goofs galore, no sense of direction, after school special quality dialogue, weird monologues that change course and come back, no points made, totally random scenes, no continuity, same house used for supposed different locations. Felt like it was shot in one afternoon. No character development. No chemistry between actors. No "timescaping" whatsoever. Forced progression of "story"... that doesn't even have a "wait for it" moment. Maybe if they had done a musical instead?

Someone had money to waste?

113mn for this nonsense is way too long. Shot in 'Scope format, it gives on very few occasions some beautiful shots. Very picturesque indeed. That's the main asset of the movie.

Apart from this, oh, the void. The main lead can be seen as pretty, but he just can't act. That's painful to see him trying to do so and downright embarrassing. I had never heard of him and I guess his acting career will be over soon.

For the rest of the cast as well, the director can't seem to make them act properly.

Among this story of two bodyguards trying to find the daughter of a billionaire, you'd expect a bit much. But Jo, it has obviously been shot on a shoestring. And it looks like it.

You have two goons getting punched over and over again the whole movie, an over-acting Chinese daddy trying to get ahold of some lithium, and this sex-starved Ava apparently manipulating everybody. They just appear lost in here.

Passed the first 10mn, you could feel they were trying to do something plausible - but then it all goes down the drain. It's sheer nonsense. The screenplay is going nowhere, I gather they lost the script along the process.

The fights scenes are ok, though. I'll give them credit for that. But alas, they threw them trying to awake me. Dialogues were clunky as hell, to make things worse.

The gay thing is useless - and, yes, I was curious about that. But really? Give us a Scott Adkins B-level of action wit a gay twist and yeah, we'll finally get a true gay action movie. With this one, it's barely an overlong drama with 3 fight scenes.

This could have gone with easily 30mn less - and test still very bad.

I give it a 3 as it's still nicely shot at some point. Doesn't deserve a 1, I've seen far worse - and those who put a tenant have been pretty high. Or from the company who dumped this?

Big Rage is a masterclass in ensemble performance, with every actor bringing their A-game to this gripping action noir. Fabian Arnold delivers a powerful, charismatic performance that adds emotional intensity and keeps the audience invested at every turn. David Millbern provides a strong, grounded presence, lending a quiet complexity to his character that complements Arnold's energy.

The supporting cast is exceptional, each actor adding depth and nuance, making every character feel essential to the story. This talented ensemble brings both grit and authenticity, creating a world that feels as raw as it is thrilling. The cast's chemistry and commitment to their roles elevate Big Rage from a standard thriller to something truly special.

If you're looking for an action-packed film with unforgettable performances, Big Rage is an absolute must-see. This team of actors brings dynamic energy and emotion to every scene, making for a thrilling and memorable viewing experience!

Boy, did I like this movie.
