Movie review - "Rampage" (2018) ***1/2

Fun, silly, entertaining film about a rampaging gorilla. Gets off to a good start with a woman dying in outer space, giving it stakes, setting up a serious subtext. The action is fast, it's logical enough.

Malin Ackerman occasionally goes overboard and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's accent got on my nerves. The film also sets up these friends of Johnson's - a work colleague and some students - that we expect to see again but they disappear. Jake Lacy is fun as Ackerman's brother.
