Rampage

About This Movie

So, 'Rampage' is this fascinating piece from the mid-'80s that dives into the action-adventure genre with a distinct flavor. It's about a Turkish commando tasked with taking down a bunch of terrorists holed up in the mountains. The pacing is pretty relentless; it doesn’t give you a breather. You can feel the tension as the commando navigates through rugged terrain and tight situations. The practical effects, while not always perfect, add a certain rawness that’s hard to come by in today’s CGI-heavy landscape. The performances, particularly from the lead, have this earnestness that pulls you in. There's a gritty charm here, reflecting the era’s approach to storytelling – it’s all about the ride, and it really delivers on that front.
