A couple weeks ago I mentioned the movie Rampage about a man with a thirst for revenge builds a full body armor from Kevlar and goes on a killing spree. So here is my review:

Rampage is ruthless, brutal, intelligent and sadistic film.

The first half of the film is mundane to the point of banality, with brief glimpses of what is to come teasing you through it. It never becomes boring to view though, as it manages well the slow build up of tension and building character before the killing spree.
The Rampage when it arrives is not disappointing, it is harsh, violent and unrelenting to the point of making the viewer uncomfortable - which is exactly how it should be.

It takes shots at American consumerism, modern western apathy and capitalism, but really it is about the journey the lead character takes, which on the surface seems flat and devoid of emotion. Intentionally so I think, the performance (with the exception of a disappointing sequence at the end) is low key and subtle, this isn't outright crazy insanity, it's a sociopathic apathy, viewing people as things.

It works well, little clippings of audio (news mostly, but also advertisements) throughout the first half mirror the journey Bill takes internally - showing that the news, American and western society generally views the middle-east, or 3rd world people with the same clinical detachment that Bill views all with, allowing him to kill indiscriminately.

The film isn't perfect though, most of the acting is weak with the exception of the lead, Brendan Fletcher potryal of Bill is amazing; we fear him, we hate him, we are compelled to watch him and even we sympathize with him at times.

It's a solid independent pyschological thriller. Not perfect but well worth seeking out.
