The DA assigned to prosecute him does not believe in the death penalty, but after becoming more deeply involved in the case he realizes that if the young man is deemed insane, a very lenient and neglectful system will at some point set him free. And when that happens, he will more than likely kill again. [More]

Reviews for Rampage
...never gets under the skin of its protagonist or allows us to understand what he's supposed to be feeling.
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.
