Assault on Wall Street

Dominic Something-or-other (I believe that's his actual legal name) is an armored car guard whose wife has cancer at the start of the economic meltdown a couple years ago. His insurance reaches its limit, his investments go south and the fat cats all get rich off of him. His wife commits suicide and he decides it's time to get some PAYBACK. Sure helps that he's a former Army sniper with a very expensive sniper rifle in the closet. Anyway, he starts taking out the people that did him wrong. He ends up making one final assault on the guys who did him wrong. He's at least a semi-sympathetic character right up to the end when he just mows down a whole bunch of people that had no connection to him whatsoever. This is an Uwe Boll film and it's actually pretty good. It's well-made and the story is decent enough. That said, Boll did this "dude gets pissed off and mows down a whole bunch of innocents" better with Rampage, though that movie didn't have nearly the budget or production this one did. Still, this was decent enough. 6/10.
