If you’d like to see what the U.S. financial system looks like from the eyes of a filmmaker like Uwe Boll, you’ll have your chance when Boll’s latest film, “Assault on Wall Street,” will be screened April 7 at 6:15pm at Sunshine Cinema as part of the SOHO International Film Festival. Here’s the official synopsis of the film:

“A security guard for an armored truck, Jim (Dominic Purcell) is a blue-collar New Yorker who works hard to earn a living. His wages support himself and his wife Rosie (Erin Karpluk), who is on the upswing recovering from a near-fatal illness. Yet things start to fall apart after Rosie’s health insurance stops covering her treatment and Jim’s life savings are lost via a disastrous investment his stockbroker had advised him to make. As a row of professional and personal dominoes falls, Jim is confronted by the realization that, after being abused and exploited by financial institutions for far too long, he has only one choice: to strike back. From the mind of notorious German writer/director Uwe Boll (House of the Dead), ASSAULT ON WALL STREET is excoriating look at the American financial system that is sure to stir up plenty of Occupy-esque sentiment.”
