PodBill Just what I expected

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Tss5078 Careful what you wish for, you just might get it, careful what you wish, you might regret it. This line sums up the film Last Rampage in a nutshell. This is the true story of Gary Tilson's 1978 escape from prison, with the help of his three sons. Tilson's sons never knew their father, but was told by their delusion mother that he was innocent, so when they were old enough, they hatched a plan to break him out of prison and it succeeded. The boys were elated to have their father back, until they saw with their own eyes exactly what he was and knew there wasn't anything they could do about it. The story here is kind of written and plays out like a lifetime movie, only with more blood and a lot more cursing than one would typically see on that network. As with all prison break stories, real or fictional, getting out is easy but what to do next is the confusing part. A lot of mistakes and good Samaritans, lead to a lot of detours and murders, even though this was a true story, nothing really unexpected happens. Unless you've never seen this type of film before, you can pretty much figure out what's next. Robert Patrick continues to be outstanding in very small, unknown film. He was the main guy in Terminator 2, spent a couple seasons on The X-Files, but besides that has been largely unrecognized and unappreciated as one of the best movie villains you could have. For a change the acting isn't the problem here, in fact, it really helps an otherwise dull and predictable story. Heather Graham and Bruce Davidson have never been better in support of Patrick and newcomer Skyy Moore, provides that empathetic character that is too often missing from films like this one. All in all this isn't a bad film, just a predictable one, that's a bit too long, and far more simplistic than I assume was originally intended.

Wizard-8 I had not heard of this movie or about the real events that inspired it before accidently stumbling across the movie on Netflix. But I gave it a chance anyway, and I am glad that I did. While the low budget of the entire enterprise does show at times, and that some of the characters (particularly the three young men who free their convict father and accompany him on his escape) could have been fleshed out some more, the movie does manage to command your attention all the same. The acting is solid and professional, particularly Robert Patrick as the criminal patriarch of the family; he not only comes across as very dangerous, he comes across as dangerous in a believable manner. Also, the story is presented in a manner that doesn't have any dull moments, even when it cuts away from the fugitives and focuses on the supporting characters. You'll be interested in knowing how everything will be wrapped up in the end.... though a flash-forward in the opening sequence does kind of spoil the surprise. It's well done enough to earn mild sleeper status, making it worth a look.

kalanid-45-205824 This movie keeps you tensed since it's beginning. The fact that this story happened in real world some forty years ago makes you feel chill throughout especially during those murder scenes. Good acting by everyone. I was taken aback by surprise when I saw Heather Graham playing a role of an old woman. She acted really well.

Michael Ledo This film is a crime drama based on the true story of the prison escape of Gary Tison (Robert Patrick) and Randy Greenawalt (Chris Browning) with the assistance of Tison family members. The group run into a lot of bad luck on their way to the border as they have their "last rampage." The characters made the film interesting as Gary shoots a car and says, "It ain't easy to kill a Chrysler." The warden (John Heard) brushes off criticism by telling us 'hindsight is fifty fifty." Heather Graham does an excellent job as Gary's wife who doesn't believe the official records. She shielded her sons from the truth which resulted later with some internal drama.Guide: F-word.
