“Calm Like A Bomb” (* out of four) was an absolutely dreadful timewaster set over the course of one night in which one man (Gianfranco Giglio) seeks vengeance for the death of his girlfriend and engages in repeated bouts of sex, drugs, and violence in order to enact revenge and kill anyone and everyone in his path. If you want a perfect example of style over substance (and coherence), look no further than this mess which has almost no dialogue and almost feels like an extended music video at times except those are typically over in 2-3 minutes. Allegedly inspired by the Rage song of the same name but other Rage titles like “Settle For Nothing” and (especially) “Wake Up” suggest more what it’s like sitting through this.
