Well it may feel staged, but apparently it happened. Ok puns intended. But this has quite the good actors in it. Especially Robert Patrick and Heather Graham do stand out in this. Not sure how much really happened exactly the way we see it in the movie, but it makes good movie material the way it is portrayed.
Of course any prison break brings the law enforcement people and the media out to work their magic. Well or just try to get the most for themselves out of it. There is no idolization of any kind, be it the criminals or the media. Cliches are being served at times, but I guess certain corner points had to be checked in order for the movie to work entirely. The conclusion is inevitable and the end credits give us more insight of the what happened after the end of the movie ...

This movie keeps you tensed since it's beginning. The fact that this story happened in real world some forty years ago makes you feel chill throughout especially during those murder scenes. Good acting by everyone. I was taken aback by surprise when I saw Heather Graham playing a role of an old woman. She acted really well.

Good enough of a cast, to make a good crime thriller, to bad the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Them boys are dumb as a door nail, the only thing I had an issue with was the somewhat of a southern accent, they sounded more like they were from Texas

I like how it sticks to the source material, but because as is... it may not be as action packed as blockbuster. I think it is more like a documentary if anything. So... it is what it is, a bit boring, but interesting to learn history.

So, now Robert Patrick has played two perfect roles. The second Terminator and, with "Last Rampage", the irredeemable killer Gary Tison.
While he is the best part of this film, his partner in crime, Randy Greenwalt, is equally well played by Chris Browning. The rest of the cast is stellar, too - you'll empathize with Bruce Davison's portrayal of "Cooper", the ensemble cop honor-bound to end the Tison Gang's "Last Rampage".
This film is violent and excruciating. Violent, because it's about violent escapees. Excruciating, because we all know young men who mistakenly grow to admire wicked fathers only to run afoul of their father's sins. Who would willingly place all three of their sons in harm's way? Simple. A psychopath.
Watch this film for a solid and inspired rendition of real-life horror and actual monsters. Then you'll know why you should never, ever stop for stranded strangers waiting alongside a desert highway at night!

The story is outdated one and the ending is easily predictable. As this is low budget movie, U can see very few action or shooting scene. It looks like TV Drama and one time watchable.

I had 2 minds to watch this movie but since it had Robert Patrick, I figured I'd give it a shot and man I'm happy I did! This is a thriller fugitive movie about 2 cold blooded killers. Gary made his sons believe so much in him that his murderous antics too were overlooked by the innocent boys. The movie slowly gets into your skin with the different scenes of murders, followed by the gut wrenching dialogues. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful. In the deserts, up the hills, in the storm, night rides, hiding spots etc..Great background music score and brilliant performances by all. Of course, it goes without saying; Robert Patrick yet again will blow your mind with his performance.
If you're a fan of fugitive serial killer movies with a touch of great thrills and cinematography, this movie is for you. I gave it a 10 as there was no part where I felt bored or asleep. MUST WATCH!

The movie was boring and unimpressive. I'd have more thrills watching a documentary about this true crime.

This movie is very predictable from the start the only good thing about it is the cinematography and the locational filming in the desert there in Arizona other than that it's just a yawning walk-through of your average prison escape movie and then they wrap it up pretty quickly and it's not very entertaining don't waste your time with this one Robert Patrick doesn't even save it. This is one of those movies that I wish I had the time back from when I sat through it I so want my two hours back whatever it took please give it back to me. Stay away from this one do yourself a favor. They could've done a lot more with us but they just kind of ended it too quickly.

This great true story is well acted especially by Robert Patrick. I dont think i have ever seen him not acting well. Give it a watch. Parts are hard to watch.

I saw the movie in the opening weekend in LA and likely one of my favorites of the year. It's action packed, and the fact that is based on a true story makes it all the most interesting. I loved it! Robert Patrick and Alex MacNicoll have such good chemistry but I was not expecting the ending.. without spoiling it, you must see it, you would not have seen it coming!

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.
Its been done before (with a much better team of actors) so why repeat the tale of such a a dreary low level thug?
The events were previously depicted in the 1983 film, "A Killer in the Family", starring Robert Mitchum as Gary Tison, with his sons played by James Spader as Donny Tison, Eric Stoltz as Ricky Tison and Lance Kerwin as Ray Tison. This 2017 version is based on the non-fiction book Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison by University of Arizona Political Science Professor James W. Clarke.
The book read must be as dull a read as the film was in dull viewing content. I don't know why American Directors/Producers/audiences are so interested in such bottom crawler dross story's about thugs; after all they are certainly no Al Capone level thugs! If they are so enraptured about the early days of American scumbags they should at least use the plentiful stock knowledge about people the US public will have at least heard of...like JFK's gangster father Joe or the wife beating Richard Nixon (the highest corruption level government thug in America's political history) The list goes on and on ...and on!
Watch if you want to but I will be perfectly honest with you...IMHO it was worthless, uninteresting and pointless in its making! But you won't know that unless you watch it and there is your dilemma :)

One would expect someone: director, costume dept, anyone, would had least made a reasonable effort to get the facts near accurate. The Arizona DPS patches worn by the Arizona Highway Patrol (AHP)did not exist, neither did DPS. It was called the Arizona Highway Patrol. They wore Smokey Bear hats, not cowboy hats. Why is the "Sheriff" wearing the uniform of the AHP? Either he's a county sheriff (Pinal County) or a AHP ranking officer.
Why is everyone talking like they are from Alabama? Arizonans speak w/o any accents, I ought to know, live there for 50 years now.
Gary Tyson was a fat slob, not lean and trim like Patrick. And there are plenty of cacti near Casa Grande (for those who say only in Tucson). Everyone of his sons were sociopaths. Don't buy into the" innocent boys" line.
