2karl- Its short at 1hr31mins ,7 out of 10 relentless action of blood and guts . 254 people die by rambo's gun and knife. tarratino would love that. John Rambo has been leading a quiet life in Thailand until he is asked to ferry a group of missionaries into war torn Burma, when they are captured, Rambo teams up with a rag tag regiment of mercenaries and heads back into the jungle on a rescue mission that will force him to return to the battlefield with explosively violent consequences , hitting new heights of carnage and raw excitement, the one man killing machine is back with a vengeance it was worth waiting to see it in the cinema after seeing Stallone in the 80's playing Rambo.
david-546 If you want lots of action and Stallone at his Rambo/Rocky we are going to beat the S*** out of the baddies best than this is the movie for you. Otherwise this movie is pure cheese. It is all over the top. Rambo takes a bunch of do good missionaries far up into Thailand where the Karen rebels are fighting the Thai government. Despite his warnings off they go. Naturally the Thai soldiers come along to clean out the village and we mean clean out. Even these soldiers give ethnic cleansing a bad name all the while laughing and guffawing their way to mass mayhem and murder. The missionaries are spared for whatever reason. Maybe whiteys make good prisoners for later exchange who knows. Anyway Rambo is now being persuaded to go back and rescue the poor begotten missionaries with a merry band of mercenaries seemingly headed by one bad-ass Brit. Tension mounts between Rambo and the mercenaries and they want him to stay and hold the boat for them while they go off to rescue the missionaries from the evil Thai soldiers. Naturally things go awry but don't worry Rambo comes to the rescue and the last part of the film is taken with more blood and guts blowing all over the place then one has probably ever seen in a movie. Too bad it all looks so gratuitous and downright silly laughable even. Anyway Rambo saves the female missionary from sure fire rape and pillage and the Karen rebels arrive in the nick of time (kind of like the old US cavalry arriving to save the white settlers from the evil Indians) and the day is saved and the body count mounts and mounts and mounts. Well you get the picture. All we can say is it's an adrenaline rush but don't expect a serious movie because it is all pure cheese! ANd Rambo growls off into the sunset or whatever it is.
Eric Stevenson I guess I'm more with the critics on this one. I didn't care much for this movie because I thought it was mostly pointless. It's just the same old stuff of Rambo arriving and killing everybody. It's not even until the last part that you even see Rambo wipe out a bunch of people. I'm annoyed by the clichés in this movie. You see someone trying to get help from Rambo and he says he can't make a big difference or something like that. There's this odd scene where we see a bunch of flashbacks that looks like trailer fodder that shouldn't be in a movie.There were rumors of a fourth Rambo movie made where he would fight Osama bin Laden. This is that fourth movie but he doesn't partake in the War on Terror. I doubt that if he did, the movie would be any better. It's mostly an excuse to constantly show death and destruction. Now the fight scenes themselves were actually pretty well done. It's just that character development is taken away in case of explosions. It's really no worse than any other big budget action flick. I've now seen every Rambo movie and it's been okay watching them. **
pcowin-69003 This movie is just pure action galore, for action fans alike. While yes there isn't much to go on for drama or stuff like that it is just action through and through. Being based on a real war that is rarely talked about it is a good look at the underbelly of conflicts that aren't so well known as the war in the Middle-East, which is popularized by Hollywood to make a quick buck, but by looking into not so known wars it will give the audience a look from a movie perspective of the gritty horrors of war
