The Last Rampage (2017)

A true story that makes you think about things..

[9/10 · 11 March 2018]

This review will irritate some people I know and I don't care. The movie was great by the way and Robert Patrick is awesome. It's a much better version than the one made in 1983. I just want to look at it -being a real event took place 70s- from a different perspective. Just think about from Lyonses' perspective -the family they killed-. So this poor fellow stops in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere to HELP some poor kid. He could have driven on, think about the family he is supposed to protect right? No, he chooses to stop and help. Why? Probably because he has certain religious teachings settled in his mind saying God would love people helping each other(and not necessarily hate stupid people, does He?) or/and some similar ethics and moral came from the society he was raised into, saying 'you need to be good to other people' ... and he choses to be good. He chooses to be good to be reckless and stupid because highly possible that when acting in such high sprit -even though against all odds-, God or Karma or something would protect him. No, in the next minutes he sees(or even doesn't) all his loved ones get killed by vicious people they didn't know before. The only reason we should be good is because with good people this crazy world is going to get better, otherwise it'll be a chaos and we will not like it. It's NOT because some stupid book or books written thousands of years ago said so. Being good is good but that should not sacrifice our rational thinking.
