Rambo is nothing short of one of the most blood thirsty movies to hit the cinemas in a while. Sly has decided he would not only direct but also write this one, on his behalf he could have given the plot a little more depth.
Apart from the slightly 2D plot there are some great tag lines in this movie and some terrific acting and sly does Rambo perfect as usual. The action is very solid, even though the movie is super blood thirsty with unbearable gore there is a pulse to the film which stops you from tearing away from the screen which really makes this film powerful.
Apparently the actions of the Burmise soldiers and the killing of villagers is a true and actually happening. But this film did seem like they used this "true" story thing and took it as the perfect excuse to be able to plow as much violence as possible in Rambo and get away with it.
I gave this a 7 and even though I though a lot of the content was too much for an action film the film is superbly made and I think Sly did a great job at directing. Every explosion and shot will make your heart miss a beat because every time it's horrific. This is a powerful movie but without the good direction, acting and horrible gore the plot is too shallow. Overall I would only recommend Rambo to a very selected audience who have very strong stomachs and will not be offended by violence.
