Assault on Wall Street (2013)

Assault on Wall StreetI was so impressed by Dominic Purcell's acting in this film. I loved him in Prison Break but I though he brought so much depth to his character and really delivered!I was also impressed by the story line. I watch action movies not expecting them to have good story lines and I though Assault on Wall Street had an exceptional one! This film will definitely be in my own personal DVD collection!

Yes, it's kinda low budget and there are some situations that aren't the most realistic, especially in the final scenes. But you have to give Boll credit for creating this nobody has really "gone there" before.

Assault on Wall Street is well crafted two part movie. Part one shows the inexorable yet swift slide of a couple's American dream circling the drain in graphic manner. The poor wife is borderline cliche but fortunately Purcell keeps it real. Their story follows all twelve steps progressively more serious tragic events from health insurance caps, registered letter notices unanswered calls to brokers and lawyers to suicide, a severance envelope to a chance meeting outside a bar where a man dies starting part two of the movie.

The movie is well cast with the usual good guys and villains. Edward Furlong is the near impotent with n'er do well who is well done in his sincere friendship. His two lunch buddy cop friends Pare and David also convince in their sincerity. Eric Roberts is the expensive lawyer who promises much for a price but isn't enough. The sleazy fund brokers are right now almost too easy a portrayal.

Its a study of a man driven to the breaking point. The cliche that crime does not pay, and love and friendship triumphs here becomes rather deftly served. And it wouldn't work without Dominic Purcell doggedly playing the man struggling to hold on to the frayed end of the rope. Purcell is the combined Laughlin's Billy Jack and Bronson's Vigilante making this new 2013 Wall Street Terminator.

"The real criminals are downtown on Wall Street wearing suits that cost more then any of us make in a year and they steal more money the anyone on Rikers Island ever dreamed of." Jim Baxford (Purcell) is a hard working man with a very sick wife. When advice he took ends with him losing all his money when the stock market tanked his life begins to spiral out of control. When he loses everything he snaps, and no one is safe. This is a movie that will make you feel many different types of emotions, mostly anger. An everyman gets screwed over and the bad news seems to pile on him again and again and finally does what some have only dreamed of. This is another movie that I do not advocate what he does, but it sure is fun to watch. This movie reminded me a lot of Falling Down in the way that that character also snapped and does things that I have always wanted to. By the time he snaps you really feel for him and are almost happy he does. I really liked this and I recommend the movie highly. Overall, one of the best B movies I have seen and Uwe Boll's best movie to date. I give this an A-.
