Nice effects though.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It is frightening that there are cold blooded heartless killers and ignorant insecure people that follow them. It was gut wrenching watching a young family with their baby and a newlywed couple executed in cold blood by cowards. Used to Hollywood movie scripts, you can't help but anticipating the innocent people somehow escape and overcome their captors. Having lived in the Mohave desert, the screen can not come close to capturing the constant oppressive heat that can kill a person without water in hours as well as invoking heat stroke along with confused thinking. If Tison was in anything like Sheriff Joe's outdoor prison, I'd do anything to escape that hell hole.

Way too many Joshua Trees for the actual territory this crime spree covered. The Tisons meandered through Arizona towards Yuma, then up to Flagstaff, briefly into eastern NM, southwestern CO and back into AZ towards Casa Grande. They were ultimately stopped near AZ City. Someone noted in the "Errors" section that saguaros only grow in southern AZ. While most saguaros grow down Tucson way, you will find them naturally from Phoenix south and out along I-8 to Yuma. There are a lot growing in areas near Casa Grande so that part is accurate. Joshua Trees grow primarily in CA so there would have been few to none in the areas covered by Tison gang. This was probably filmed in Mojave.

This true crime drama about the 1978 prison break of murderer Gary Tison plays like a standard made-for-television drama.At the start of the film, the character of Tison comes across as a wise guy spouting off one-liners like "B. F. Goodrich is a good tire," just as the tire is about to go flat on the getaway car. Tison's escape from the Arizona prison was not due so much to his planning or the assistance he received from his fawning sons. Rather, the prison conditions were lax and the officials in charge were incompetent. After Tison and another inmate, Randy Greenawalt, escape, Tison demands complete loyalty from his sons, who become accessories to murder after Tison and Greenawalt kill six innocent people in cold blood.The filmmakers tried unsuccessfully to raise this tawdry crime drama to a biblical level. The film opens with a quote from Exodus about wrath of the God of the Old Testament: "I, the Lord Thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me."Unfortunately, the scope of the film was not biblical, but filled only with pathos coming from a dysfunctional family. Tison was undone when he disrupted his escape plans to search for his brother whom he wanted to kill. The filmmakers probably want this to appear like the story of Cain and Abel, when Tison asserts that "Blood calls to blood, and blood answers back." But the final result was no more than the saga of a demented loser, willing to sacrifice the lives of his sons to save his own hide.It was the brother's tip about the Econoline truck driven by Tison and his boys that sealed his doom. The true motto of the sleazy Tison was not about "blood," but about cowardice, when, in dire straits, he yells, "Every man for himself!" So much for blood, family values, and paternal concern for his sons!

Last Rampage at times reminds me of In Cold Blood. It's got a huge cloud of impending doom and how bad it gets only depends on how many people cross paths with Gary Tison. His sons, though guilty of abetting Gary are not unlike victims themselves. Gary is purely evil and he gets particularly desperate attempting to flee to Mexico. Gary, however, has little in the way of a plan.. Everyday innocents who happen to be in the wrong place will be slaughtered.Gary Tison was a heartless murderer, a human being and father devoid of any morals. Gary has trouble getting to Mexico with the law closing in. he becomes as purely evil in every way. Rampage recounts Gary's final desperate attempt to get out of the country. Arizona State Police officer Cooper takes it personal and is a few very sad steps behind. The officer's only hope now is to find Gary to avert more senseless killing. Cooper puts everything into his manhunt as he understands what is at stake even to the point of personal redemption for a prison system that failed miserably.Last Rampage is a pretty solid B-Movie. It's a no frills tightly produced look into a particularly deadly criminal. It is not for entertainment so much as a true harrowing retelling of how a very bad man decided he has nothing left to loose as he scrambles for freedom. The way he claims to love his sons yet treats them with no love is heartbreaking. Gary uses this sons with no regard to throwing away their lives and injecting them into the deadliest of situations for his own selfishness. Things go about as bad as possible before the final resolution. Remember this is a true story and it's told pretty straight. This is cold blooded crime at it's worst and Last Rampage tells it straight making the viewer feel truly uneasy as you know all are doomed… again, reminding me somewhat of In Cold Blood falling just short of that classic. I guess that makes it a movie you have disgust for yet keep watching cause you can't turn away. Robert Patrick does an excellent job of bringing a animal in human flesh to life in his portrayal of Gary Tison.
