The true story of the infamous prison break, of Gary Tison and Randy Greenwalt, from the Arizona State prison in Florence, AZ, in the summer of 1978. Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison is another bad flick that wastes Robert Patrick's potential as an actor but also wastes Heather Graham, Bruce Davison and the late and really good John Heard. The storyline although based on true events it was far from effective and cool as it tried to passed as plus the acting and characters weren't any better either. This was a major colossal mistake.

It is frightening that there are cold blooded heartless killers and ignorant insecure people that follow them. It was gut wrenching watching a young family with their baby and a newlywed couple executed in cold blood by cowards. Used to Hollywood movie scripts, you can't help but anticipating the innocent people somehow escape and overcome their captors. Having lived in the Mohave desert, the screen can not come close to capturing the constant oppressive heat that can kill a person without water in hours as well as invoking heat stroke along with confused thinking. If Tison was in anything like Sheriff Joe's outdoor prison, I'd do anything to escape that hell hole.

Way too many Joshua Trees for the actual territory this crime spree covered. The Tisons meandered through Arizona towards Yuma, then up to Flagstaff, briefly into eastern NM, southwestern CO and back into AZ towards Casa Grande. They were ultimately stopped near AZ City. Someone noted in the "Errors" section that saguaros only grow in southern AZ. While most saguaros grow down Tucson way, you will find them naturally from Phoenix south and out along I-8 to Yuma. There are a lot growing in areas near Casa Grande so that part is accurate. Joshua Trees grow primarily in CA so there would have been few to none in the areas covered by Tison gang. This was probably filmed in Mojave.

This film is a crime drama based on the true story of the prison escape of Gary Tison (Robert Patrick) and Randy Greenawalt (Chris Browning) with the assistance of Tison family members. The group run into a lot of bad luck on their way to the border as they have their "last rampage." The characters made the film interesting as Gary shoots a car and says, "It ain't easy to kill a Chrysler." The warden (John Heard) brushes off criticism by telling us 'hindsight is fifty fifty." Heather Graham does an excellent job as Gary's wife who doesn't believe the official records. She shielded her sons from the truth which resulted later with some internal drama.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
