#REVIEW: “RAMPAGE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Rampage sees Dwayne Johnson returning to another video game adaptation (Doom was previous), and while the outcome isn’t any different, the amount of energy and ridiculousness possessed by Rampage is through the roof and brings this otherwise seen-before concept done with Rock-branded twist. While the complete insanity based on a video game doesn’t always lend itself to an adaptation to Film very well, Rampage succeeds.
The Film starts-off ...

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
When Director Lynne Ramsey’s Film YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE screened at last year’s Cannes Film Festival in its still unfinished form, not only did the Movie receive a seven-minute standing ovation, it wound up garnering awards for Joaquin Phoenix as Best Actor and Best Screenplay for Ramsey.
