"It's the Rage" is actually the title of this movie, which I saw the other night on cable, and it's an odd duck of a film, starting out with Jeff Daniels' character shooting a man in his living room. He explains to his horrified wife (Joan Allen) that the man was a burglar, but she discovers, with even more horror, that it's actually her husband's business partner. What the @#^k??! Then, some other characters are introduced, each one crazier than the other (played by Gary Sinese, Robert Forster, Anna Paquin, Giovanni Ribisi, all great). Then, the characters start interacting, in extremely clever, well-written ways. The one thing that unites these loonies is that they're all on the edge and they all have guns. (Is that two things?) Consider the possibilities. Or better yet, see the film.
Excellent acting, sly intertwining of modern characters, and escalating suspense make this movie intriguing and very watchable, despite the sophomoric and "in-your-face" anti-gun agenda that is as subtle as a lead balloon.
Aside from the fact that this movie was obviously gun control propaganda, you just don't care about any of the characters. By the time I got to the end of the movie, I was wishing one of these pathetic characters would just go postal and shoot everyone to put me out of my misery. I can deal with propaganda in the name of good theater, but this is far from it. Prepare to snooze!!

"...Rage" focuses on a motley bunch of underdeveloped and loosely interconnected characters who have a common denominator: The hand gun. A marginally entertaining film at best, the flick seems to be trying to make some sort of statement about hand guns. However, it's not likely that a film which can't deliver quality entertainment can deliver meaningful social commentary. "...Rage" is not to be taken seriously on any level if taken at all.
This is Mr.Sterns debut as a movie director. With such a wonderful cast you just can't go wrong. This movie is about, well...GUNS. It is a satirical look at guns in western society and it's ill effects. This movie will have you laughing, but thinking as well. Jeff Daniels and Joan Allen are both wonderful and show their range as great actors. The entire cast really gets into the movie, but it would be hard to explain a plot, due to the fact the movie really tells the intermixed story or several people, from different parts of our society.
