Q: What’s the movie about?
A: A very dark cop (Woody Harrelson) gets involved in some dark cop business, and before long his life and his state of mind get even darker than the darkness they began in.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Woody Harrelson, Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, Brie Larson, Ben Foster, Ned Beatty, Cynthia Nixon, Anna Heche, Sammy Boyarski, Ice Cube, Steve Buscemi, Jon Bernthal, Stella Schnabel, Jon Foster, Robert Wisdom
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A: Proceed with Caution. It's just another character story with not much story-story to it, but there's no denying that this character is interesting-- at least so long as there's a screen standing between us, and keeping him at a safe distance away from my scorn.
Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: One guy talks about a barrel of monkeys, and monkeys are always funny.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: It's too cold for tears, but it could freeze your heart.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: Woody Harrelson is certainly in the running for the Oscar with this one-man-show of a film, and Oren Moverman has a good chance at an Indy Spirit Award for his directing.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Supporting Woody you'll find a plethora of A-level pros who never bomb, including Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, and Ben Foster. You'll also find a breakout performance by the youthful Brie Larson.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Very hand-held and indy, but deliberate in an interesting and often original way. Oren Moverman makes particularly daring choices when it comes to his high and low angles.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: There are moments of intrigue, but you sort of know the whole time that it's not really going to lead to anything, and after about an hour and a half, it starts to feel extraneous, and you start to feel like if you got up and left you wouldn't really miss anything. You'd be right.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: Rampart Trailer
