RAMBO Movie Review

Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Graham McTavish

Director: Sylvester Stallone

First thing to say is that the movie is more graphic than your average action movie. There are many graphic scenes of violence, the most disturbing taking place in the first half of the film. The movie follows John Rambo to Burma where he is catching snakes in the wilderness. Quickly we have a Christian group wanting to go into the heart of Burma. They ask Rambo for help to go up river. From there chaos comes when the group is attacked while working in a small village by Burmese pirates. From there all hell breaks loose and Rambo goes in with a group of mercenaries to find the captured group.

The movies acting is not very good but if you enjoy an 80’s style action movie with over the top violence I have to recommend it. Stallone does do a good job at showing the violent behavior of both the Pirates and also John Rambo himself. The last half is pure rush of adrenaline and a huge body count. If you are looking for a real deep and well scripted movie you’ll probably be disappointed, but if you are looking for a kick back to the no nonsense blow ‘em up adventure (and can handle limbs, heads, and about everything else exploding) then you will not be disappointed.

Rated R for strong graphic bloody violence, sexual assaults, disturbing images, and language.
