"Assault on Wall Street" (2013)- Dear lord.

In this movie, written and directed by Uwe Boll, a guy loses everything in a recession, including his wife who effectively lost her insurance after getting cancer. He then decides to kill the capitalists that burned him.

The movie starts with a one-dimensional CEO of a brokerage basically "screwing" his clients over to serve his stock holders. Our protagonist had all of his apparently very large retirement savings in a mortgage-backed securities fund that this CEO is apparently responsible for destroying. After an unnecessarily long sob story about how a hard-working guy gets ripped off by the evil capitalists in many different ways and the justice system is doing nothing to stop this, he decides to go on a killing spree because that will fix everything.

The guy seeks revenge on "Wall Street" ultimately by shooting his broker and then indiscriminately fires into a brokerage building from across the street through the windows, literally choosing targets by the following criteria 1) Are male 2) are wearing a tie 3) are in the building. He then storms the building and continues his rampage using those same criteria, letting everyone else get away. It's quite sexist, if you ask me, clearly he should've either asked who was a broker and who was the mail boy/IT staff/intern, then shot the "capitalists" regardless of gender, but I digress.

Our humble protagonist, just a hard working guy that lost everything, then storms the evil CEO's office and confronts him, asking him to explain why he should be allowed to live. The CEO then decides instead to just give a long screed about how anyone with any kind of money got that way by screwing people over and that if Shooty McPsychopath doesn't like it, it's because he's just weak. Something's in there about social darwinism and how "this is capitalism." The Shooter then plays a game which he calls "the free market" where he places a gun between them and says "may the best man win." Long story short: CEO dies, Shooty cleverly escapes, then delivers even more exposition to the audience about how he's a hero of "the people" and will continue right the wrongs of the world.

The biggest tragedy of this movie is that it isn't even so-bad-it's-good, it's just so-bad-it's-worse to the point where I wonder where Netflix got the idea I wanted to see it. I like guns and explosions, not being lectured to about capitalism by Uwe Boll whose only point he managed to successfully convey is that he's a total moron. Well done Uwe.

My real question is: Why the hell did I watch this crap and can anyone suggest some movies I might use to cleanse my frustrated and annoyed brain ?
