Our Review
Rampage: Capital Punishment stands out for its daring narrative and the intense performance of Brendan Fletcher as Bill Williamson. The movie’s raw portrayal of violence mixed with socio-political commentary makes it a unique, albeit disturbing watch. Its direct and unapologetic critique of societal issues adds depth to what could otherwise be a straightforward action thriller. While the film may not cater to everyone’s taste, owing to its graphic content and explicit themes, it is an intriguing sequel that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Viewers looking for a film that challenges the status quo will find this gripping, although it’s not for the faint of heart.
