I recently saw “Rampage” from 2009. Its basically a movie where a spree shooter is portrayed as the good guy/anti-hero. Several parts gave me that pit in your stomach, teeth gritting uncomfortable moment. I really hated it. Although I’m not surprised there are sequals I am disappointed and will not be watching them.

      yeah it is. i’m going to give it another watch, i think i disliked it before because it seemed at the same time staged and also too intrusive into peoples real lives? but probably that was the point, that they were playing up to it, still it’s all a bit gooble gobble one of us. i’ll have another look, would be interested in the rest of your top ten if you want to post it

        It’s entirely fictional, but has some real humanity in there which shows through very strongly in some scenes. So not really intrusive, they are all actors.

        I couldn’t give an accurate top 10, but here’s a rough list of 9 others I’ve watched many times and love:

        Old boy

        Sunshine

        Rec (Spanish original)

        The matrix

        Cloverfield

        Cube

        As above so below

        Watchmen

        Alice (1988, russian)
