Inspired by the classic arcade game of the same name, Rampage is utterly ridiculous, campy, yet also self-aware enough to be kinda sorta dumb fun. It’s exactly the mindless, formulaic romp it's been sold as, with star Dwayne Johnson trying to carry the whole thing on his charm. But even The Rock can only do so much when a movie's this absurd.
After an insanely awful "genetic editing" formula is accidentally unleashed, three wild animals are transformed into giant mutants who go on a, yes, rampage. It’s then up to ape whisperer Davis Okoye (Johnson) to save his animal buddy, the city of Chicago, and the day.
Rampage boasts a stone cold stupid script ladened with some hilariously on-the-nose and cringe-worthy dialogue, especially when it comes to all the pseudo-science involved in turning everyday animals into giant monsters. This thankless task is mostly left to Naomie Harris to deliver. The Oscar nominee's very presence classes up her stock character, Dr. Kate Caldwell, enough that I hope whatever houseboat Harris did this paycheck movie for is as big as one of the giant monsters she’s stuck explaining.
