It's the Rage is a 1999 American drama film adapted from Keith Reddin's play All The Rage. It follows three interconnected stories and shows how handguns affect each of the nine people involved. The film is the directorial debut of producer James D. Stern.[1]
Handguns figure in the intertwining lives of nine people. Warren (Jeff Daniels) shoots his wife Helen's (Joan Allen) lover and his defense is that he thought he was shooting an intruder. She leaves him and her lawyer (Andre Braugher) helps her find a job working with a nutty, reclusive computer wizard (Gary Sinise) who waves a pistol, sometimes at Helen.
Tennel (Josh Brolin), the computer geek's ex-assistant, lands a video-store job and is smitten by Annabel Lee (Anna Paquin), an aggressive street kid who likes complaining about men to her pistol-packing psychotic brother (Giovanni Ribisi) to set him off. In secret, Annabel starts an affair with the lawyer, but things are complicated when the lawyer's gay lover (David Schwimmer) finds out. Meanwhile, a cop (Robert Forster) stays on Warren's tail.
Filming was in Los Angeles and the film was first aired on cable television as All the Rage. It never entered wide release in American theaters (showing only at a few select film festivals), although the DVD release has had some mild success. It was shown at the Milan International Film Festival and won awards for Best Acting (Gary Sinise), Best Director, Best Editing, Best Film, Best Music, Best Screenwriting, and the Audience Award.
