kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The movie gets the "Death Wish" treatment when down and out and on the balls of his a** laid off security guard Jim Baxford, Dominic Purcell, goes postal when his entire world fell apart due to the criminality of the Wall Street bankers and stock brokers that he put his trust and life saving into. With both his and fellow investors money used to play the market with the financial institutions. That was supposed to keep it in safe corporate and government bonds putting it into unsecured junk bonds and worthless derivatives and home loans mortgages that went bust in the 2007-09 stock market crash. Now with his wife Rosie's, Erin Karpluk,health insurance not covering her medical expenses and facing a long and painful death she offs-or kills-herself in order to prevent her from any farther suffering.Jim now having nothing to lose, he already lost everything, plans to do in those who screwed him out of his life savings his job his wife and home and is determined to get even by staging a kamikaze style assault on those in Wall Street who destroyed, by him believing in them, everything that he held near and dear to him. Armed to the teeth and wearing a Halloween mask Jim is more then ready to lose his life and take as many crooked brokers and greedy bankers along with him.****SPOILERS****Wild and bloody final with Jim storming the office building that screwed him out of his life savings gunning down dozens of lawyers and brokers that he came in contact with during his non-stop rampage. Even taking time to shoot across and on the streets any person, wearing a suite and tie, he felt had anything to do with the corrupt dealing that destroyed his life and, in the case of his wife Rosie, happiness. The final showdown came in his broker Jeremy Stancroft's, John Heard, of the now bankrupt real estate growth fund's office with the police and swat teams storming the building he gave him a chance to defend himself by leaving his gun on the table thus giving Stancroft a fighting chance to use it! Only for the broker, who at first grabbed it, to find out it was empty and getting gunned down not by Jim but the police thinking that he, not Jim, was responsible for all the carnage in the building and on the street!

TomSawyer 2112 I expected this to be a pure action movie of the revenge against the 2008 crisis, which as we know now, has been premeditated by the clever heads at Wall-street and any other bank business centers like London and Luxembourg. I know some old guys who really were at the roots of the system, and who warned me some time before, who told me they were putting their "savings" into security (meaning gold). I also know the other side of the system, when each domino falls, piece by piece, until you have nothing to loose, not even your health. This is the main part of the movie, and it does excellent in it, always at the edge of "too much of bad luck" without falling off.The end may be a bit "lucky", but then it's purpose is purely symbolic. At the end of justice there will always be the citizens.The last words are great : I am out there, a soldier of the people... and if the government, the prosecutors and the judges fail on their duty, I will not fail on mine.

Philip Schroeder I just watched Bailout: The Age of Greed, and I must say it has been a long time since I last watched such a propaganda filled, poorly acted piece of sh*t. The movie actually starts out great, and we get the back-story of how f*ck-ed our main protagonists' life is f*ck-ed. His wife is recovering from some deadly disease, although it is never told what disease it is, and we just hear about all the crazy expensive medication she needs to recover fully. Meanwhile, our ''hero's'' bank is going bankrupt and that leads them to f*ck the clients who t'bought their fake stocks? It's confusing and seems like Uwe just chose to change the reason the bank f*cks it's clients mid-film so that his genius masterpiece would rally up the people who are actually believing everything from this poorly excuse of a film. Anyway, the first hour we're just following the miserable journey of Jim, who's life only seems to get worse. Eventually, Jim decides to go on a rampage and basically kill everyone he sees in a suit because suits = evil puppet of cooperation. The movie ends very stereotypically with Jim holding some speech of righteousness where he is proclaiming that if the system is not taking care of these banks he will, cause he is the soldier of the people. A real vigilante. Now, you may be thinking that Uwe Boll is some amazing society critic that knows just what he is talking about. but he's not. He's Uwe Boll. The man who raged at the internet because we wouldn't fund his shitty movie. Uwe Boll doesn't know the concept of a vigilante, but a vigilante doesn't kill at least 30 people that there may be the slightest doubt of innocence in. Don't watch this movie unless you want to laugh at how smart Uwe Boll thinks he is.

sobertool6969 Full of spoilers. You've been warned. The movie starts off with the most unluckiest man in the world. He's a security guard and not a cop, his wife has cancer that the insurance company won't cover, all of his money is in a stock, that goes belly up, and on top of that he's being taken for more money because of a bad stock. He gets a lawyer, who screws him over. During all of this, this huge muscular man is completely calm and barely gives more than a boo-whoo, aw shucks vibe. Never gets angry. Until the ADA blows him off, and he curses at his secretary, but barely. It's supposed to be this profound moment, and it just falls so flat, and so weak. Then his wife kills herself. She cleans the house nice, does all his laundry, and then crawls into bed and fills it with blood. We finally get a little emotion out of our main character. It takes about 70 of the 98 minutes to get into any sort of action, when he accidentally kills the ADA. Then he goes on his spree, magically not being seen by cameras, or people, despite the fact he's using a very loud hi powered rifle in a sweet little Great Neck, Long Island. The climax of the movie starts with him picking people off from a parking garage, and then when he runs out of bullets, he walks out onto a horrifed street. People--who should have ran away but are for some reason just hanging out in perfect shooting range--are crying at the site of the masacre, while this man who walks out of where the gun shots were coming from, looking very angry and disinterested, and holding a freaking mask in his hand, just walks across the street without anyone noticing. If this movie ended with him being a ghost that killed people, that would be more believable. The line at the end of the movie "you know the difference between a banka and a gangsta?".....this guy wasn't a gangster! He was ex-military, he was a security guard, he was taking care of his family.....what's gangster about his character until he has a nervous breakdown at the end? And even then, he's not a gangster......he's apparently a murdering mastermind. Maybe if he'd chosen a profession of heists and murdering people, he wouldn't be in the financial woes that he was in. I watched this movie because I saw that Eric Roberts, Keith David, Edward Furlong, and John Heard were in it, so I figured it wouldn't be AWFUL. The story was bad, boring, drawn out, and ham-fisted. The writing was boring, and so full of agenda that it loses its emotional hold completely. The acting was flat--all around. Eric Roberts is this high powered lawyer that could just as easily be a hippie on W4th. I don't lightly give this a 1 star review. This moving is insultingly bad, and should honestly be ashamed of itself. It's not so bad it's good. It's not redeemable at all.
