Rage (1995)

Absolutely the worst movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

RAGE is a straight-up action flick from the guys at PM Entertainment. It stars British hard-man Gary Daniels who plays a mild-mannered school teacher who is kidnapped by a Mexican guy being chased by the members of a criminal outfit desperate to clone their own army. Daniels is experimented upon but manages to escape, at which point the film becomes a big manhunt as the bad guys try to catch him. As with many PM Entertainment movies, this film is replete with straight action scenes including plenty of fist fights and car chases. It's an easy watch for sure, but I was never quite as caught up in the story as I wanted to be, despite Daniels' best efforts to convince. Perhaps they needed some more convincing villains for this to succeed better.

It's to bad. The action in this film is almost non-stop but still not that exciting. But boy do they try hard. The ONLY reason I didn't score this a 1 was because of that effort.There are quite a few "so bad that they are good" scenes that a least a couple laughs come your way. Some of the acting is atrocious. In my opinion the best actor is the one that plays the head journalist.One thing I found really funny was one scene when the hero is hanging from a building and a guy is shooting at him on a helicopter. That guy must have took about 30 or 40 shots (most from close range) and didn't hit him once. I won't even mention the end shootout in a mall (really stupid).So see this movie only for a few moments of inspired action and some unintentional laughs and let us never speak of this movie again.

This movie is basically a non stop chase. Once it gets started, it never even stops to take a breath! One great action sequence after another! Car chases, shootouts, and fighting! What more could you ask for? The story isn't bad either. It keeps you interested during the brief gaps between the plentiful action.

That pretty much sums up this movie. If you're a fan of non-stop action films, you definitely want to check this one out. There is one little thing that could keep you from enjoying Rage: I've never seen such unrealistic action in a film before. This guy does stunts that make him look like Superman. Example: in one scene, our hero jumps about 15 feet in the air off an exploding truck and lands on the ground, with only a few hairs out of place. Then he proceeds to chase a car on foot! For me, the campy action in this film made it great. If you don't like stuff like that, stay away from this one. However, if seeing someone doing a rolling dive in the air and machine-gunning 5 thugs at once is your cup of tea, I suggest you rent Rage as soon as possible!
