Rampage is a very good movie that I guess I prefer then most of the posters here ( of course, I have Elsa Martinelli in my likes so I am not exactly unbiased). What makes the movie ( besides Elsa of course), is the hunt and how the trapper Harry Stanton ( Robert Mitchum) is able to catch the elusive big cat called 'The Enchantress' while the hunter Otto Abbot ( Jack Hawkins) fails. Abbot is an interesting character. He was so good at hunting ( he never missed a shot), that Anna ( Elsa) who he picked up as a teenager basically considered him a god. But he finally missed shooting a rhino and he was never the same ( especially in the eyes of Anna). Abbot's problem was he treated everything ( including Anna) as a trophy ( Anna noted that herself). Spoilers ahead: Besides the way they treated animals, the real difference between Abbot and Stanton was how they viewed Anna. All the years Anna was with Abbot he took her for granted. Stanton did not. He was given a red scarf by his native assistant Talib ( Sabu in an excellent performance) and it is a marriage scarf, that he presented to Anna. He realized that this is a woman who is not only beautiful ( again this is Elsa we are talking about), but unlike the "Stay at home" type, she will be able to go with him when he goes after animals for zoos ( Anna is an expert shot and is used to living in less then ideal conditions in the outdoors), so marrying her is not only the right thing but the smart thing to do. I give it 9/10 stars.
