Review:
	With a mix of horrible acting and bad quality of voices, not to mention animation
that didn't make any sense, Mask of Rage was totally ruined. I thought it had a good story
and while watching the movie, I found spots that I thought were eery, which was helped by
the music and the fact that the basic Idea of the film was given out to the viewer BUT the
acting was horribly stale. Jeff Ching plays the lead, a cop who has to find a serial killer
and during the film goes through some troubles of his own.
	Jeff was possibly the worst candidate for this character I could think of. Not only
does he show no feeling in his acting but the lines he had were always fuck this and fuck
that you fuckers... and other stuff like that. The entire cast talked like fourteen year 
olds. Out of all of the characters in the movie, Jeff's was one of the only voices that I
could understand, though. Every other character's voices were of the worst quality. The
serial killer's voice was a whisper, which I think was done on purpose but it was WAY too
soft and everyone else's voice was either too low under the music or a mix of microphone
static and what I thought sounded like a Mexican Accent that mumbled every other word...
	The animation was way too fast during fight scenes and felt sloppy. You couldn't
really get a grasp of who was winning in a fight until someone's blood was spilt. Other
things in the animation that were stupid included little things like scene changes. In one
particular area of the movie, a fairly important scene had just concluded in the movie and
in the next, without any type of fading or warning, the same character from the previous
scene was in another one, in a totally different area. The movie was made to confuse. There
are tons of examples of this type of bad scene changing in the movie as well as other
horrible examples of animation. It really ruined the movie for me.
	I mean, the plot was pretty good but I couldn't stand all of the errors and holes
that... omg, you can see that this is torturing me... It was... it was bad. A lot of times
I'm not bothered by bad animation but it was just so bleedin' bad in this that it ruined
the movie.


Story:		 7/10  
Animation:	 4/10 
Scenery:	 5/10
Voices:		 1/10
Music:		 6/10
Total:		 23/50


The Movies Highs:
*Cool story and ideas
*Cool Music


The Movies Lows:
*Bad dialogue, acting, quality of voices sucked, voices too low during music as well
*Bad animation, fight scenes, bad changes between scenes and horriblly bad animation that
ruined any dramatic effect


Bottom Line:
	I liked the idea of the movie and in a few spots I thought it was pretty spooky but
I really couldn't look past the horrible acting and animation that totally ruined it.
