New Showbiz Analysis

Rampage is a nihilistic thriller that centers on a traditional approach to casting and character development. The narrative focuses on a single descent into madness, which limits multi-layered depth and diverse viewpoints. The film's setting is dominated by a homogeneous white cast in a small-town American context, creating a narrow social perspective that avoids racial diversity and cultural blending. While the film critiques social stability through the protagonist's violent actions, it does so through a lens of individual psychological collapse, lacking a structured critique of cultural norms.
