Rampage delves into the subject of legal insanity, so often the default defense in modern-time gruesome crime trials. Alex McArthur plays an outwardly normal guy who goes on incredible killing and mutilating sprees until (and even after, when he escapes for a short time) he's captured. When he comes to trial, the liberal DA (Michael Biehn) is torn between his own leftist leanings and the reality of the heinous crimes for which the accused is being tried. He must argue for the death penalty. ~

This is not a movie about murder so much as a movie about insanity -- as it applies to murder in modern American criminal courts. Friedkin plays with two decks and is happy to stack them both.
...never gets under the skin of its protagonist or allows us to understand what he's supposed to be feeling.
Uneven cast,uneven story,uneven execution. Overall this was an uneven unfocused studio tampered with William Friedkin film. Was expecting so much from this because of all the reviews I read but was left very unsatisfied.

Surprisingly good movie. Friedkin toggles between a mystery thriller to court room drama. Obvious social commentary dealing with insanity and murder. Good editing and great cast
