It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an Uwe Boll picture, going to back
2008 when his last theatrical endeavor, “In the Name of the King,” blew
in and out of multiplexes with the speed of a spring breeze. Since that
time, Boll has gone on to direct 15 movies, living up to his Ed

his last efforts titled “Blubberella” (oof). What was once goofy cult
aimlessness has now become a private industry for Boll, who, despite his
grim artistic reputation and the forgettable nature of his work, has
managed to remain employed after all these years. Now the helmer puts
the Financial Crisis of 2008 into his crosshairs, turning monetary ruin
and one-percenter gloating into a revenge fantasy, putting a gun and a
moronic script into the hand of the common man. Because it wouldn’t be
Boll if there wasn’t borderline irresponsible storytelling. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
