I wanted to hate this movie so much, but came away having been throughly entertained (in an extremly violent way) for 90 minutes. It was a blood splattered 90 minutes but it was better than I expected.
Rambo has retired to Thailand, but he's still in top shape. Stallone of course is still in good shape aged 60. I won't discuss steroids at this point.... A group of missionaries are trying to helped the sick and wounded in Burmah. The people are living under a military regime which is brutal in the extreme. The missionaries are captured and Rambo ultimataly helps a group of mercenaries to get them out. The body count is vast, it might be a record for I know. If you have any problems with watching bloody scenes I'd give this film a miss as there are a great many which involve huge blood loss!
The ending is well done, taking you full circle back to First Blood from 1982. However making comparisons with that film are a mistake as it isn't in the same class. The main reason is a lack of another major character to support Stallone. In First blood we had the always excellent Brian Denehy as the local Sheriff, in Rambo there's nobody.
However overall I shall be quite happy to watch this again when the circumstances
This is without a doubt the best movie in the Rambo series. It shows more depth to the character, than any of the Rambo's. The ending is how fans of he Rambo series would want it to end. It plain felt good.
The fighting scenes are graphic, but the movie rating should tell you this was going to be rough. It's an 'A' movie, and a good job from Stallone. If you're not into the genre, you're probably thinking 'What the heck does he mean 'A' movie. No way. Simple answer for those that feel that way, 'just don't watch it'! For those of us who are, watch it over and over. It never seems to get old.
Living hand to mouth in south East Asia John Rambo
doesn't want to get mixed up in the civil war in Burma.
A beautiful Christian missionary changes all that.
Can one old guy make a difference against just another
set of military bad guys who live off killing and stealing from their own people? In many cases the US Government has given uniforms, weapons and
tanks to just this sort of people in the name of regional stability.
US tax dollars at work in the world, you ask?
In another daring raid into enemy territory...
the end is pretty predictable. In a time of another unpopular war
Rambo is back, because people need heroes.
