A damn good example of frustrated
youth of America, who goes on a killing spree for no reason or rhyme. But that
makes for an awesome action movie to say the least. I never expected the kind
of shock it gave me. I guess a similar movie came in 90’s too and I am sure it
was based on a similar idea, I need to google it now big time to find that one and
see it again. This was a totally shocking account of a very young guy – reason for
his frustration is hilarious and the revenge he takes on the world is mind-boggling.
I will definitely praise the director for showing it in one of the best ways,
the moment the action starts – all you can do is keep your hand on your mouth
and just watch with your eyes popping out. He is frustrated with his parents
constant bickering to do something worthwhile with his life, his boss’s not
raising his pay, a coffee shop guy not giving him enough extra foam, a restaurant
lady serving and spilling his lunch all over him, too many people immigrating
to USA etc etc. Solution?? Pick up the gun and shoot them all. It’s a must
watch for all action lovers who can live with blaring guns and bleeding people.
I loved it totally.
It's the story of a young guy
Bill, who lives with his parents and works as a mechanic with a low level
workshop. His parents constantly try to tell him to do something worthwhile and
move out of house as well. His boss isn’t giving him a raise either. The coffee
shop which he frequents usually – the dude out there doesn't gives him extra
foam as he demands on his coffee. He has his own set of frustrations, like too
many people moving to American and making it trash. One fine day he decides to
work out his own solution to the all worldly problems. Kill them all. He makes
a bulletproof armor for himself. Gets a lot of guns, bullets, bombs and what
not, fixes them all up. Now getting a gun that too a machine gun or an AK47 in
US is a cake walk I guess. As every tom dick and harry in every second movie
gets it just like that. Here too, no explanation given but you should see the
collection of weapons he has, totally amazing. Picks up a big car and goes on a
killing spree. Before that – he packs a lot of bombs in one remote controlled
van first and blows off the town's police station. His killing spree is shot in
a damn good way. He starts shooting people left right and center, doesn't even
tries to know who they are, where they are going, what they are doing. Nothing!
Everyone who comes in front of him will be dead in no time. A couple of cops,
who try to stop him, lose their life too.
He enters a bank, kills the
security guard with a knife who tries to overpower him. Robs the bank properly,
at least kills half of the staff too. Very smartly he switches the money with
fake notes and once outside the bank – burns the fake ones, shouting that money
is world’s biggest problem. He goes from one place to another just like that
killing people. He enters a beauty parlor and somehow decides to not to kill
them, just picks up a glass of water, drinks it and as he goes out a girl says
something which angers him further and he shoots them all too. He takes his
personal revenges too and settles all his scores with people who’ve been
frustrating him for long.
I kept thinking all this while
how is it going to end? And what would be the motto of killing so many people
and Director does answers that question. That too in such a smart way that it’s
pretty convincing and you actually feel that the guy was too smart and he
planned everything in advance and that too so well that he should be able to
walk out of it unharmed. You’ve got to see it to believe it. All in all it’s a good
action movie which does makes us think hard at least. So many times in the
recent past we have seen those incidences when a college going kid picks up a
gun and kills the innocent just like that before killing himself up. I am sure I
have read that at least half a dozen times in the last couple of years only. Go
ahead take a look – this should have been an eye opener of sorts for us and it
does makes your eyes pop out and take notice of what’s going around us.
