Director James D. Stern debuts with this darkly comedic, archly ironic look at America's obsession with guns. The film opens with Helen and Warren Harding (Joan Allen and Jeff Daniels) awaking one night to the sounds of their suburban trophy getting broken into. Warren grabs his trusty handgun and blows away the intruder, only to complain about the blood spots on his newly purchased bathrobe from Sundance. The unlucky guy turns out to be Warren's business partner, and it does not take long for him to wonder out loud if his wife and the dead man were having an affair. Meanwhile, Warren's lawyer Tim (Andre Braugher), whose civil-rights leading father was gunned down when he was a boy, receives a handsome gun from his film fanatic boyfriend Chris (David Schwimmer). Others involved include the young nymphet Annabel Lee (Anna Paquin) and her thuggishly violent brother Sidney (Giovanni Ribisi); Mr. Morgan (Gary Sinise), an eccentric and extremely paranoid Internet tycoon; and Tennel (Josh Brolin), a video store manager turned poet. All of these characters have their own personal axes to grind and all have easy access to guns. The result is as violent as it is senseless. All the Rage was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival. Jonathan Crow, Rovi

This film was released in 1999. In the 1990's gun violence in the United States was at historic levels. With an average of 60,000 gun deaths a year. That number has decreased over 55% in the following 25 years with firearm sales increasing and laws more or less staying the same. So, if you're going to view this, take it with very outdated information.
What starts as an obvious propaganda film, very quickly, forgets it is one. Following the story of several people, it intertwines their stories together and gives us a somewhat average experience. It's not until the very end that the movie remembers "Oh wait, I'm a propaganda film, I better get back to that." Thankfully it is not a film as ham-fisted (or full of lies) like Michael Moore films, but it misses its mark at trying to bring an at the time message to light getting lost in trying to be an actual movie. It's not bad, the comedy is pretty shallow, but it's an interesting film. It's worth a watch once or twice, and does have some good moments from the dynamite all star cast, all of which have suburb acting.
