Watch The Rage For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Amateur movie with Big budget

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Only twelve reviews? Really? C'mon yall some one is not even trying. Do I think I'm better than this movie? Yeah, yeah I do, I am better than this movie and you know what, so are you, you are also better than this movie, together we share that, how special for us. Why was this movie made, jeez I sound like a broken record always asking that same old question, but with The Rage, to ask 'why make this movie?' is all the more valid,y'know, cause this movie sucks.The Rage, is one of those kinds of movies where you know right away it has virtually no market audience, I mean outside of the random few of us who enjoy bad bad movies, who was this movie made for? I mean could the investors for this film not find any Treasury Bonds to invest in, hell even scratch-off lottery tickets seem like money better spent. Lorenzo Llamas may have or may not have ever been charged with domestic battery , but his acting in this movie makes me think he battered his spouse, not sure on this one but you could look it up, Google it, it could be a family activity. Is the Busey in this movie? Oh God yes, and yet sadly restrained like Gary was still trying to hold on to his sanity...oh well.

RAGE is one of those movies I stop to watch whenever it pops up on TV. Why, I have no idea. Perhaps it is because of the frequent action sequences and the thousands of expended bullets. Perhaps it is to watch Busey playing an absolute lunatic, shouting into the camera and looking like he just took a hit of fun juice. Lamas is rather subdued and cleaned up for this one, as he plays a stiff necked FBI agent hot on serial killer Busey's trail. The boat chase at the end is a hoot, if a little long, and you just know Busey won't be coming back. He goes out with a decided bang. This is actually one of Lamas' better efforts, although Busey and Scheider are clearly slumming here.

**SPOILERS** Outragous movie about a gang of psycho Vietnam Vets who are at war with not only the US government, whom they feel betrayed them back in Nam, but the entire country as well for not giving them the moral and political support that they needed when they came back home.Led by a Rambo-like Art Dacy, Gary Busey,these angry and unstable individuals have taken their rage and hatred back to the states by waging a guerrilla war of their own against the people and law enforcement personnel of Wasatch County.Assigned to finding out who's responsible for over sixty murders in and around Wasatch county is both FBI man and women Nick Travis & Kelly McCord, Lerenzo Lamas & Kristen Cloke. We learn early in the movie that the man in charge of this FBI operation agent John Taggert, Roy Scheider, is actually more interested in doing in his agents on the case, Travis and later McCord, then catching the gang of psychos who turned the entire north-west into a free fire zone. Taggert has it in especially for Travis since an unfortunate shooting incident at a place called Quantico where because of his screwing things up caused a number of FBI agents and white separatists to be killed in a Ruby Ridge-like assault by the FBI. This foul-up on Agent Taggert's, not Travis',part cost him the chance of being promoted director of the FBI and he's held Travis responsible for that ever since.Meanwhile crazy Dacy and his and his gang of loonies are planing to wipe out the entire bunch of US government representatives who are about to have a big get together between themselves and the North Vietnamese at an exclusive compound outside of Bear Lake called the Bountiful Society. Shades of the super secret Bohemian Grove retreat outside of San Francisco? Hard to follow because of all the side plots and double-crossing going on all throughout the film that you find yourself having trouble keeping up with what's happening on the screen. The movie "The Rage" goes from a psycho, or psychos, on the looses to a gang of veterans who were mentally damaged and left out in the cold by their government to a crazed and unstable FBI man. Who's obsessed w with hanging the man who he holds responsible for his failures. To finally a massacre of the leadership of the US government during the Vietnam war by the veterans that they sent there to do the fighting.You have to say one thing about the movie and that is that it didn't skimp on the action scenes which were like every ten minutes. The ending mercifully made sure that the villain, Art Dacy, wasn't going to come back for an encore. I have to say that even though Dacy was as vicious and venomous as they come you could still work up some sympathy for him, not his actions, in the movie. Dacy was turned into a Frankenstein monster by the government who refused to grant him, and many other vets, the medical and psychological help they they so desperately needed and in fact even cut the meager funding that Dacy and his fellow psychotic already got. Taggart was an entirely different type of cuckoo bird who had no reason for his despicable actions, in regard to both agents Travis & McCord. Taggarts demise at the end of the movie evoked a much more unsympathetic response even by his fellow lawmen as the SWAT team leader. As local Wasatch Sheriff Dobson(Brandon Smith), who gunned him down before he could do in both Travis & McCord,reported as he called for back up by saying: Come on down boys and pack up this trash, we ain't no litterbugs".

Some of my comments might be seen as spoilers, you have been warned.The Hero heads out to fight the Villain and his Villainess. On his quest the Hero is assigned to the Heroine. From here on the plot has no twists and almost everything is underlined with heavy semi automatic fire.The Hero is burdened with guilt and he has an Enemy within the bureau. The Enemy turns out to be angry enough to want to shoot the Hero and the Heroine in the end after the Villain has been burned to cinders. My my, what a surprise.The Heroine is a desk rat that has longed for "the field" and everything that happens, no matter if it's close to rape or getting her head blown off, it's handled as a new interesting experience. The only time she shows that this first time on the field touches her in any way is when she thinks she might have killed two bystanders in a moving car. (She didn't.)The Villain leads a gang of ex-Vietnam soldiers and their goal is to get even with the people that, in the gangs view, abandoned them after and during the war. On their way to revenge they kill, rape and mutilate to their hearts content. Needless to say, the shots from the coroner's operating theatre are gruesome to try to keep the viewers at least mildly interested. The Villainess wears ludicrous wigs throughout the movie and in the end she has to fight the Heroine amidst the flames aboard the flaming boats.The special effects are average in quality but I couldn't keep myself from laughing when one of the pads laid on the ground to ease a fall was visible.As in so many other "the police against military trained bad people" movies, the police, in this case the FBI and the locals, arrive in badly ordered groups that even I could take out with a few grenades and a heavy machine gun.The movie goes on and on while they fire round after round, gasoline bombs go off as to simulate ... something going off and everything ends with a boat chase and the Enemy getting shot and that kiss that says that everything will be fine.
