Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
