I've stayed away from Uwe Bohl's films on the basis of reviews on IMDB, but when 'Rampage' appeared on Amazon Prime and I happened to have a free Sunday morning I gave it a go.
'Rampage' is much, much better than I expected, in fact a, surprisingly intelligent film with flashes of black humour as well as a decent insight into the mind of a the protagonist.
When the film was released in 2009 it probably seemed extreme, but since then we have had real-life incidents in Miami, Las Vegas, Norway and New Zealand on a similar scale.
There are nods to 'Elephant' and 'Arlington Road' although the director's style is frenetic, but not overly so. I would have no hesitation recommending 'Rampage' definitely worth 90 minutes of your time.
