Rating: Summary: An excellent cast makes the film worth watching. Review: Let`s me say this again for a great cast:Jeff Daniels(The Purple Rose of Cario), Joan Allen(Face/Off), André Braugher(City of Angels), Gary Sinise(Mission to Mars), Anna Paquin(The Piano), Robert Forster(Jackie Brown), Josh Brolin(Hollow Man), David Schwimmer(Apt Pupil), Bokeem Woodbine(Life) and Giovanni Ribisi(Saving Private Ryan). This fun entertaining film about all sort rage on people`s different personality and thier breakdown. The weirdest performance in the film is Sinise, who`s is unusual in this kind of film. This movie is an Dramatic Comedy. The picture was made for theater but relase in T.V. instend.DVD`s has an good anamorphic widescreen transer(1.85:1) and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. Also has an running commentary by the director. Grade:B+.
Rating: Summary: Andersonesque view on nine people and how rage changes them. Review: Nine people are somehow brought together by rage. Whether they are victims or the cause of rage, all of their lives are deeply touched by it. The way all of the characters can connect is very similar to Boogie Night's writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson's style of filmmaking. Even though the movie's classified as a drama, it is quite humorous. James D. Stern has made the sad events in the film seem hilarious. Much like Welcome To The Dollhouse and Happiness's writer/director Todd Solondz, Stern has glorified depression. Whether the characters are having ethical problems or they're just plain nuts, we find ourselves chuckling at their misfortune. The "moral" of the movie, being that guns are bad, sucessfully comes across without being preachy. So overall, this movie is excellent. It's honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
Rating: Summary: GREAT Performances by all the cast & director but NO Message Review: This movie ain't that bad as portrayed by the amazon reviwers on this site. I thought all the actors were superb. The shoplifter from X Men showed another dimension I never knew she had. All in all every actor was solid here and I adored them all. The film, what with being coined as an anti-gun satire or commentary didn't really hit a chord with this viewer. But never the less it did have a strong plot. I patcularly liked Gary Sinies's character complaining about a common problem in todays society - too much information. Also the special effects in his billionaires house's many TV Screens were great and hi-tech. There was a couple of times I laughed during this movie btw.
Rating: Summary: This movie is the rage! Review: This movie just proves how talented Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Paquin are. If you see no other part of this very funny movie see the part when Giovanni is at the shooting range and is it just me or did Anna look super hot(as always).

Rating: Summary: Rental Rage Review: What really gives me rage is the fact that i paid 5 bucks to rent this awful movie. There is absolutely no redeeming value to it. Even the ensemble cast can't save it. Everyone is totally miscast... gary sinese is terrible as a recluse computer billionaire. david swhwimmer does his job at throwing gay characters on the screen back about 20 to 30 years. james brolin, although sexy, can't act to save his life. And giovanni ribisi always seems to pick roles where he looks like he just did 8 lines of crystal meth. joan allen is the only reason I give this movie one star. And its not because her character is anything more than one-dimensional. i just like watching her breathe life into the most cardboard Susie homemaker characters. the whole moral of this movie is all about how guns are bad. The movie is sadly not very subtle about getting this point across. And I think that's its big downfall. It's just boring. Dialogue is usually pointless if not just blatantly trying to get across the idea that guns suck. Who cares?
