Guy fell and broke CD in half? And the dude carries an extra copy? Hahaha!! CD's don't break in half like glass, idiot!! There're so many scenes in the movie where this guy could have been taken out easily yet everyone acted like sheep being herded. And the undercover cop stood out with hand in the back supposedly reaching for gun but just stood there waiting to get shot. Hahaha!! that's hilarious. And the 2 victims came to take his body....well, they could have taken his gun...duh!!! Oh...and that stupid lady got upset stood up and yelling but didn't do anything?? That makes no sense. Bottom line is I think a 10 yr old can make a better movie.

"Rampage: Capital Punishment" is a poorly directed, poorly written, and poorly executed horror-thriller that is partially redeemed by the brilliant performance of bad guy Brendan Fletcher. And that's a shame, because the original "Rampage" (2009), despite its flaws, was actually very effective as a horror movie, and a surprise win for the Internet's favorite whipping boy, Uwe Boll. The less said about Boll's writing and directing, the better. I'll leave it at that. And we see some pretty bad acting from guys who were at least okay in other movies. Even the movie poster is problematic. The movie does not take place in Washington, DC; unless I'm mistaken, it's the same small town as the first film. This is also a low-budget film that take place mostly in the basement of an office complex. And … if the title is meant to be a play on words … shouldn't it read "C-A-P-I-T-O-L Punishment?" Still, anyone who studies acting might want to see Fletcher's performance as the psychotic spree killer. He hits it out of the park. He is obviously an extremely gifted young actor. He's intense, frightening and natural in the role, and he makes a great villain. Talk about a guy who is NOT phoning it in. I sincerely hope that at some point Hollywood puts him in a better movie. Question: why does the uncredited television producer in the movie have a German accent? Is that Boll himself in a bit of stunt casting? IMDb doesn't say. http://ericrobertnolan.wordpress.com/

There was a few times when watching the previous movie, Rampage1, when its similarities to an old PC game, Postal, struck me. That reference is not totally oblique, as it was a game where an unhinged central character, strikes terror into his home town by walking around shooting anyone unlucky enough to stray across his path. Quite what his beef with the world was, I don't remember. As it turned out, it wasn't even a particularly good game but the premise is what made it sell very well - unrelenting ultra-violence against an unprepared hoard of human innocents. Achieve a high body count in a public arena: the terrorists manifesto. It is a slice of darkness for which a full subscription comes to only those who would take this position forward and cross the lines of human decency. So Rampage 1 seemed to get that the viewer didn't need much definition behind the catalyst, we want to wickedly indulge in the immediacy of his high powered weapons and his one sided war. Oh and don't forget he has full body armour, a skilled capacity for making IEDs and not getting caught. This is voyeurism through a blood stained lens. Therefore Rampage Capital Punishment should provide level 2, but for the viewer this film quickly turns from a ominously dark and pacey build up in the first half to a drawn out, hostage drama. The tirade of violence slows and gives our anti hero a platform to speak his unpalatable views, which we and the hostages are forced to endure at length. If this was a computer game, it would be like a the story cutting in and not letting you click past it for 20 minutes. We don't want to indulge his views as they compromise what we view this film for; a frenzied unrelenting sprint through hell. With all the possible extreme scenarios that could have played out and for a main character that is effectively as cold and undiscriminating (although he does love his mummy, aww) as Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original Terminator, Rampage Capital Punishment falls short of expectations. 5/10

A senseless movie created to expose a senseless world. But the only thing it achieved was to show mindless violence in the name of "change". With all the violence in the world today, this film brings more violence by the main character in order to get his "message" out (still clueless at to what that message was really other than just plain "kill people"). If that is what the intent was of the producers and director then it shows how demented the media really has become. The film itself is antithetical in claiming that people are subverted by media in order to be controlled and at the same time it itself tries to control a pattern of thought. Horrible film. Just another snuff film to propagate violence.

Mr. Boll's first Rampage was a pointless rage against humanity. He spent our precious minutes throwing some swill our way about how humanity was expanding past the point of sustainability, and that the only solution was to kill some people off. And that was the whole of it. Kill people. No justifications and no reason for them. Just kill lots of people. While I disagreed with the premise, the plot had a simple purity and made for a pretty viciously entertaining movie. When I heard about a sequel, my first thought was, "Oh please don't ruin it by trying to develop this madman." Unfortunately, Mr. Boll has done just that by opening his big mouth. Mr. Boll apparently has the social and political comprehension of a child, and he displays his ignorance proudly in this movie, which can best be described as a simple tantrum. I think he might believe that this second movie expounds upon the "fine points" of the first film, but in reality all it does is drown them in paranoia rhetoric that contradicts itself even as it spews from the mouth of the main actor. Mr. Boll attempts to bury us in just about every politically motivated, paranoid conspiratorial bit of garbage he can dig up from any sort of anarchistic whacko out there. Far from being convincing, it made me roll my eyes. Oh good grief. I've heard all this ridiculous ranting before, and from the mouths of better men. His ranting contributes very little to the plot of the film, and instead confuses the hell out of the viewer. I pity anyone who listens to this garbage and accepts it on it's face value. WHAT POINT EXACTLY is Mr. Boll trying to make with this.. art? That democracy is dead and we'll all be better off if we behave like the anti-hero? Shooting people just for fun? Mr. Boll wants us to kill the rich? Sure. As long as Mr. Boll knows that he falls into that proper category. President Bush is evil? Heard this before a million times while he was in office. I'm hearing it more and more now that he's out of office, with the current administration trying to blame the previous president for everything it can't sort out for itself. The U.S. has NO GUN CONTROL?? Mr. Boll, are you completely oblivious? The protagonist is asked a few times by other actors what solutions he suggests. His answer is repeatedly something along the lines of (I'll paraphrase), "Hey! Don't look at me! I just shoot people." Rather than being interesting, it comes off as merely offensive. What it comes down to is that Mr. Boll tried to make a "point" with this film, which was a huge mistake. It's convoluted and redundant. The main character's motives, which were so clear and sinister in the first film, have suddenly become a pointless splatter of insipid demagoguery. He should have just stuck with killing people for fun. It would have made more sense. I'm still rating the movie a "6" because it was well made, and I'm not so petty that I give poor scores to well made films just because I hate the politics of the writer.

This film may not be as flashy as other attempting to portray the same messages about the truth about modern society, particularly North-American society, but the message is still powerful as most of it is the truth most don't want to hear because they are part of the lie and are either in denial about it or to ignorant to realize it. I am a filmmaker too, and all I can say at least something was said in this film that made sense, other than the useless rant and rave that other, even the higher rated films do. PS, Adam Peters, I gave up on even commenting on this site, due to retards like you, but I just couldn't help myself. Keep on trucking Uwe, no matter what the critics say.
