10 Awesome Films You've Probably Never Seen

10. Rampage

Better staged and acted than any of his video game adaptations, Rampage was Uwe Boll’s first movie to achieve mostly positive reviews, with even Variety calling it “uncompromising” and “distressing”. Largely improvised, the film takes place in a world of minimum wage jobs and branded stores with indifferent staff, where casual misanthropy is broadcast 24/7.

The story follows Bill Williamson (Brendan Fletcher), who’s either a product of his environment or a stone cold psychopath whose run-ins with several rude people serve to fuel his nihilism – the film doesn’t offer any easy answers and invites viewers to judge for themselves. Embarking on a shooting spree, he indiscriminately kills beauty shop employees as well as bank tellers, whose money he steals while telling them, “Everything you use it for is stupid and senseless – have a nice day.”

He burns some of the money, but he also keeps some for himself, which seems to contradict his statement that his mission was to “clean the world” for the rest of us.
