Watch Assault on Wall Street For Free

ridiculous rating

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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.

In 2009, Uwe Boll gave us Rampage, a rage-fuelled exercise in violence that I viewed as a form of catharsis for the director. I guess Boll had a lot more anger in him than I originally thought, because Assault on Wall Street sees the film-maker once again venting his spleen via his art, the target this time being the greedy bankers of Wall Street and capitalism in general.Dominic Purcell plays hard-working security guard Jim Baxford, who must be one of the unluckiest characters in the history of film: his wife is receiving expensive treatment for a brain tumour, his insurance policy refuses to cover the cost, his savings turn out to be worthless thanks to some irresponsible trading by his brokers, he loses his job, his wife—consumed by guilt—commits suicide, and then he's evicted from his home. With nothing else to lose but his own miserable life, he decides to make the greedy bankers on Wall Street pay for their mistake—in blood!There's no denying that Boll lays it on with a trowel—there's zero subtlety in his script—but in the end, Assault On Wall Street is a satisfyingly bloody slice of violent revenge cinema, one that also carries an important message at its heart: there is a shocking disparity between the haves and the have nots, and it is only getting worse. If the situation doesn't change, bloodshed is inevitable.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

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.

I only watched this film because of Dominic Purcell. I really liked him In Prison Break, that made me want to watch Assault on Wall Street because I knew he was a main character. Assault on Wall Street is an average film. Like many other films I felt the 'emotional' scene were his wife dies fell flat firstly I didn't even click on she was dead until the body bag come down the stairs then I caught on and understood she had passed the funeral just seemed to lack any form of emotion at all Dominic's performance was good at the funeral but everyone else seemed not phased at all which is not how funerals are. That part was depressing because I wanted it to be a happy ending for them two but it wasn't. The ending of the film is sort of memorable and sort of on a there could be an Assault on Wall Street 2 cliffhanger sort off, he says he will always be out there for as long as he lives killing I think prompting there will be more attacks maybe another film? Anyway it's an OK film really and is worth the watch.
