“I got this movie in a video store bargain bin as an used copy. The cover was appealing as i am interested in WW2 and i like boxing as well. Then it was in my shelve for a while as i was intending to watch it with my cousin who likes both subject as well. But then at some point i decided to watch it anyway, and realize it was sporting the name of … UWE BOLL on it. Oh boy… i decided to put it in the shelve and include it in my next pawnshop movie sell(i do that once in a while as i buy pretty much all my movies used in video store, i donu0026#39;t rent much and i hate video on demand) So as i was making my movie pile for the pawnshop, i decided i should at least give it a go, after all, my Boll hate comes mostly from him destroying video game licences and i actually did enjoy Rampage.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is in German, but i choose to watch it English dubbed. I am not a fan of English dubbed, but i tough it was rather OK in this, the voices didnu0026#39;t bother me too much. I come from a french province so i am used to french dubbing, but not English ones. Anyway yes the acting was so-so, but not that bad. I could get into the movie. I think his boxing years where pretty well done, the fights whee numerous and entertaining, i was actually surprised. I think the war segments and how the Nazis saw him could had been way better done, but then again it was not the point of the movie per say.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall i am surprised… its a decent movie, even tough its made to by Boll. Got to give credit where its due, Iu0026#39;m sure if the movie would had been dubbed in french i would had even more fun watching it. There is nothing spectacular but the movie donu0026#39;t feel too cheap or whatever and i didnu0026#39;t knew Max Schmelling at all, so now i want to look him up on wikipedia.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo yeah, i liked the movie. Will i keep it or pawnshop it? I dunno yet, it was way better than expected.”
