What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #149

Cool thing about today’s “What I Watched” column is you can watch the film I watched right now for free…

Rampage (1987)

In preparation for my William Friedkin interview I watched his 1987 legal thriller Rampage centered on a man (Alex McArthur) who goes on a brief killing spree and the district attorney (Michael Biehn) seeking the death penalty for his crimes.

If I was to try to say anything to convince you to watch this film I would say do so not only because it is damn good, but because McArthur’s portrayal of the killer reminded me so much of Kevin Spacey in David Fincher‘s Seven and Biehn’s closing argument is quite bold and risky in an attempt to ratchet up the tension. I don’t want to say much else because it could spoil it, but the overall theme of the picture and the ultimate takeaway is quite fascinating.

The film is available on NetFlix Instant Play and, as a matter of fact, available right now on YouTube in the video below. Yup, click play and watch it right now, my bet is within 15 minutes you’ll be watching the whole thing.

Now it’s your turn, what did you watch? Any trips to the theater this week? You buy and Blu-rays lately that people should consider purchasing?
