Uwe Boll making a good movie? Yeah, you better believe it! Great seeing Dominic Purcell again, strong performance in a strong story.
What would you do in that situation? The way US economy "works" is a black stain in human history, and this movie highlights it and hammers it home.
Well recommended. 10 years 9 months ago -

No. Just, no.
Listen, I get all the frustration and desperation and the system is rotten and all that. But this is just plain wrong.

Great performance by Dominic Purcell. The plot was very interesting and targets the endemic issues of our current economic system.
When you go to a bank or building society to get a loan, get credit, or a mortgage; or when government goes to the central bank to borrow money, the banks do not actually have the whole money in their vault to cover the money they 'lend'; only 1/9 fraction of it. Instead they do a book keeping entry: They create the rest of the money out of nothing; they risk nothing; and expect you or the government to pay the money they pretend to 'lend', + interest on top. If you can't pay, they get all you've got having risked nothing. Even if they end up with little, having risked nothing, they still end up winning. If you pay, they get the 'principal' and interest, having risked little or nothing. This is a legalized violation of contract law, which states that, in any partnership, both parties must put up a proportionate risk in order to make any claims on the proceeds, and hence share in the risk of the venture. The banks don't risk anything on their part. And they get to win everything. But the game is up: they created so much money to finance all the derivatives and other ponsy schemes and scams that we have now reached PEAK DEBT and it is the end of fractional reserve money creation system. The world as a whole owes its banking system 10 planet Earths worth of economic value; which the banks lent out to the world..But where did they get the 9 extra planets worth to lend? From nowhere...from nothing....through book keeping entry. 9 years 8 months ago
