Uwe Boll is the director behind Assault on Wall Street, which depicts Jim (Dominic Purcell) as he seeks revenge after the economy comes crashing down leaving him with nothing. “I was upset about the bailout, about what happened to the taxpayer’s money basically,” Boll told Uinterview in an exclusive interview. “Nobody got in jail from the big bankers and I felt it was time for a revenge movie … It’s a gritty movie and I’m happy that I made it.”
