Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Oct 26
3/4
A prickly picture that takes a thinking man’s approach to a potentially sensationalistic topic. Go to Full Review Gena Radcliffe The Spool 09/26/2023
Rampage isn’t a hidden gem of Friedkin's filmography. But it’s an interesting movie that poses some uneasy questions without easy answers. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 04/27/2012
B+
Basically, in re-editing his film to make a cruder point, Friedkin took out the shadings in his characters and the better work of his leads, and in no way whatsoever did he improve the movie. He in fact systematically made it worse. Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily 07/28/2005

Steve D 09/02/2023 It works ok bu there is not a lot to it. See more 06/20/2014 Once again master director W. Friedkin tells a story in a very unusual and disturbing way. His camera follows his characters like flies follow a piece of meat. His film is tensed thanks to an incredibly haunting soundtrack and a cast that works very well. Once again a very good piece of film making from one of the most talented film maker of the 70's & 80's era that I never get tired to revisit. See more 02/23/2014 great Michael Biehn movie See more 10/18/2013 the line between sanity and insanity is very blurry. See more 09/02/2013 The film starts off strongly enough but once it becomes about Friedkin's need to present a pro-death penalty argument in the most one sided fashion imaginable, it becomes dull and occasionally repugnant. See more 08/10/2013 Guilty or insane??? You decide. Very good movie ...yet one more example of some of the sick tickets out there. See more Read all reviews
