Rampage Short Movie Review

Rampage It is based on the classic video game of the 80 of the same name, it is a pretty bloody action/adventure movie with some really disgusting moments.

It is likely to attract many preteens and teens thanks to the star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who plays a famous primatologist with an unusually close bond to a gorilla named George. A dishonest genetic experiment (reinforced by an evil corporate lab) causes George and two other animals to grow several times their size and strength; then they begin to invade the cities, causing massive destruction and casualties.

Expect tons of violence, including some bloody scenes (people show themselves without eyes and flattened). The character of Johnson is wounded several times (they even shot him), but as always, nothing prevents him from saving the day.

There is also a bit of flirting and a fairly frequent strong language (especially "shit" and "asshole") and a couple of rude jokes, including a gesture of the gorilla's hand But in the end.

That same year, he wrote and directed the short film "Full" (2001) and shortly after he premiered "Evelyn: The Cutest Evil Dead Girl" (2002), a Gothic comedy short that Peyton showed to a lawyer involved in the world of cinema, which allowed him to distribute it among several specialized circles of New York filmmakers. The short film was also presented at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2002. Several years later, he created and produced the plastimation series "What's Like Being Alone" (2006), broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
