Reviews:
“I really enjoyed I Am Rage and whilst the rest of the cast do a wonderful job playing their roles, the highlight for me has to be Hannaj Bang Bendz as Erin who definitely has the most interesting character in the film (which of course is helped by the backstory we find out about her during the films running time ). I Am Rage is filled with creepiness, blood, wonderfully choreographed fight scenes…” From Page 2 Screen
“Billed as an action/thriller, I Am Rage is more like a child’s idea of a horror movie. With a goofy story that becomes more silly the longer it goes on. With one excuse after the other to show blood splatters and martial arts fighting. The dialogue itself tells of the immaturity of the film. With lines that sound like they are ripped from pulpy fantasy comics from the eighties.” The Movie Mann
“The film’s flaws are few, it could have used a stronger dose of horror for the genre fans and probably should have ended right after the fight between Margret and Erin, the few minutes after it are anti-climactic and water the last act down. While it’s not the low-budget masterwork I was hoping for, I Am Rage is still an above-average film with a lot of blood and some good fights.” 3.5 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
