*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***Charles Reece (Alex McArthur, Kiss the Girls) is the All-American boy. Handsome and well liked, he does charity work and dutifully cares for his mother. One day he buys a gun and goes on one of the most horrifying murder sprees ever recorded. Anthony Fraser (Michael Biehn, The Terminator, K2) is the liberal-minded district attorney assigned to prosecute Reece. Fraser’s objective: the death penalty, a punishment that goes against his personal beliefs. As Fraser plunges deeper and deeper into the case, he’s outraged by a system that would set a killer free by deeming him criminally insane. Ultimately, Fraser realizes he and the murderer share the same conviction: Sometimes a life must be taken. A hidden gem in the canon of William Friedkin (director of The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A., The Hunted and Bug), Rampage is a stark, unflinching thriller as controversial and thought-provoking as its subject. Featuring original music by Ennio Morricone (A Fistful of Dollars, The Thing). This Special Edition includes both the director’s and theatrical Cuts of the film. The director’s cut premiered in some festivals in 1987 and was shelved for five years. In 1992, Miramax acquired the film, edited the film by five minutes and gave the film its long overdue theatrical release.
