Even a broken clock is right twice a day, just as how Uwe Boll can somehow make a good movie if he tries really, really hard for around 20ish years. Well, that day has come. To you, my good people I present to you Rampage.
Basement tapes anyone?
Rampage is (as Wikipedia lists it) a mass-murder thriller. They were sure right about that. From about twenty minutes in to about ten minutes from the end the film is one huge buffet of shooting, stabbing, bombing, and everything else under the sun that concerns killing random people. A solid 30-45 minutes of it is just our friend Bill Williamson running through sidewalks gunning people down. That's not to say how any of it is boring though. Rampage ends exactly when it needs to. Any more time would be considered excessive but Rampage seems to keep even the most basic, crude plot together and wrap it in a nicely presented package.
This suit is pretty much how I felt walking into my first class of grade 12.
The effects are pretty good and the acting is great too. Nothing too shabby considering what Boll had to work with. The suit of armor is really nicely designed and adds a nice touch to the film. The pure ruthlessness of Bill Williamson adds a touch of sobriety to the underlying aesthetic.
TL:DR version: Great movie unless you take offense to seeing random people being gunned down for no reason. If you're one of those people who plays GTA4 and immediately starts shooting everything in sight, then this is pretty much a movie version of that with a hint of Robocop/Iron Man thrown in.
