Tunnel Rats (2008)

My rating: 4/10

I mean, for what it is (Uwe Boll doing namsploitation), this is actually pretty decent, and some of the underground bits are rather unpleasantly claustrophobic (though I am an easy mark for that kind of stuff, since I seem to have actually developed a mild case of claustrophobia), but it's still mostly quite dull, and bleak to the point of self-parody.

Movie Review | Tunnel Rats (Boll, 2008)

One of the essential pieces of Uwe Boll trivia is that for a while there, he got his movies funded with the help of a German tax loophole that allowed investors to write off the entirety of their investment and only pay taxes if the movie showed a profit, or in layman's terms, more or less doing The Producers for real. This movie was made after that loophole had been closed (thanks to the attention he ended up drawing to it) and his movies had stopped getting wide releases in theatres, and shockingly, it looks and feels like a "real" movie made with some care. The more charitable read is that Boll's newfound financial realities re-energized him as a filmmaker. The less charitable read is that he did this with the same enthusiasm as Ruggero Deodato bringing out the cast of Cannibal Holocaust when he was put on trial for allegedly making a snuff film, and probably needed to prove he could actually make a "good" or potentially profitable movie. I do not know the contents of Boll's heart so I will refrain from speculating.

What I will say is that the relative polish results in an uncanny valley effect that does not work in the movie's favour. Because it looks and feels like a "real" movie, you start comparing it against other "real" movies and it can't help but come up short. Boll cycles through a host of Vietnam war movie cliches, and while cliches are cliches for a reason, he isn't able to breathe any new life into them. The first half is just an endless parade of characters pouring their hearts out about life back home or telling others to shut up in response, with most of the interest coming from guessing who's gonna get KIA'd later in the movie. It also doesn't help that many of the cast members look like more famous actors that you wish were in the movie instead. There's knockoff Michael Biehn, knockoff Anthony Mackie, knockoff Casey Affleck. The only one who makes an impression is Michael Pare, doing a pretty good Tom Berenger impression as he commits a war crime in the opening scene, punches it out with a subordinate who disagrees, and then goes on about all the shit you have to do in war to survive. I will say that Boll deserves some props for trying to humanize the Vietnamese, even if he does so by arguably mimicking the same G.I. cliches.

Things do get better in the second half when Boll springs Viet Cong attacks on our boys, if only for the sheer level of violence. Boll is obviously taking after other war and action movies from the era, but unlike Saving Private Ryan or Rambo, his action scenes feel rather shapeless instead of chaotic and frenetic. That being said, there's some pretty nice gore in this courtesy of Olaf Ittenbach, and you kinda wish it leaned further into pure exploitation instead of trying to be a legit war movie. I should also note that Boll's usually shitty blocking is less of an issue here, as many of the scenes are either in tunnels where there isn't a lot of room to move around, or in the jungle, where the density of the trees limits the heroes' movement. And while the movie is shot with an unappealing desaturated high-contrast colour scheme and the tunnel scenes are often incomprehensible, Boll does manage some decent shot compositions.

So this is what it looks like when Boll tries. Boring as shit in the first half, sorta watchable in the second. Here's a participation medal.

One of the most important things I know now is that there is in a bedrock experiential sense only one time: that it is always now and never not now, although maybe you have to have spent much of your life feeling estranged from your own experiences for this concept to be "important" or "revelatory," rather than either "obvious" or "crazy" or, reasonably, (contemptuous jerkoff motions). Maybe if you have a brain that sorts "things that are actually happening" into a more urgent or immediate register than "ideas for things that MIGHT happen, how awful it would be if those things happened, and how to prevent them," then it does not surprise you or change your life to realize that it is always now and you only have to work with what is available to you now. Maybe it would not, for such a mind, be a kind of cataclysmic rebirth to discover that the bad future you are almost constantly building in your head -- while not necessarily always optional -- is always made up. I would not know! All I know is Anne Carson said nothing crazy!! Anne Carson is fucking right!!!!!!

Welcome to Rat on a Stick, the dungeon's latest fast casual dining experience (From Rat on a Stick by George R Paczolt, dungeon adventure for Tunnels & Trolls or Monsters! Monsters!, Judges Guild, 1982) Long before Dungeon Meshi / Delicious in Dungeon, there was Rat on a Stick:

The Rat on a Stick dungeon is designed to add a touch of business sense to the usual dungeon adventure. The option of adding a fast food stand gives an easy method for new characters to pick up their first experience points in a purely defensive role as well as giving the party a chance to pick up a few extra GP for new supplies. Feed all the horrible monsters lurking within these pages or defeat them for their treasure. The choice is yours!

Merlin being famous in certain circles not because of the "Emrys" thing but because he's basically Ye Olde Billy the Kid. Man's a whole-ass criminal who continues to blatantly do crime directly in front of the royal family and the commanding force of the army.

Sorcerer: Oh my goddess, you're-

Merlin, already tired: Yes, I'm Emr-

Sorcerer: - the most notorious criminal in Albion! Have you really done all the things they say you have?

Merlin: ...what do they say I've done?

Sorcerer: it's you!

Merlin, already tired: dear god

Sorcerer's buddy: Emrys?

Sorcerer, offended: no, the smuggler!

Hey @alchemical-overreaction!

That damn gnome has used the tunnels under wizard island to release giant rats throughout the island. These tunnels are also supposedly connected to everyone’s homes. Have you seen any holes or odd entrances on the first floor or in the basement dungeons? For both of our sakes, we need to patch those up and completely collapse all of the tunnels in the nearby area.

Also, just saying it for the record; I am letting you stay on the first floor where my alchemy lab is until you get your own place again. You get the futon by the fireplace for sleep, unless you want to just sleep on the carpeted floor upstairs. You can come upstairs, but it’s not yours and I’m not required to let you into anywhere. And while I am letting you borrow some of my alchemy supplies, that doesn’t mean free reign and access to all of it.

Finest regards, -Catto.

Its mole Logan

Logan is a mole

Wait....

Molegan

Bro just breaks through the floor in the middle of Keegan's house, looks around confused, pulls out a map, recounts his boxes, then huffs and vanishes beneath the floor again. (Fixing the hole behind him.) Whole time Keegan is just fucking around in the furnaces and Merrick is staring wide eyed.

"Who the fuck was that?!" "Molegan." "What?!" "Mole. Logan. Catch up, Thomas." "Keegan, I barely know how to switch my hand slot, I don't even comprehend that."
