I know that's a bold question, but considering how well acted this movie is and how interesting the story is, it's worth asking.
The movie is about a green beret named John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) who returns home after the Vietnam war, only to find that nobody has any interest in befriending him due to all the negative press from the war. This cold reaction to Rambo escalates when he walks into a small, Pacific Northwest town to reunite with one of his buddies from the war, only to be told that he was killed by Agent Orange when he came back to the States.
While feeling dejected and somber, Rambo wanders into town and is eventually identified by the town sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) who, like many other Americans, didn't approve of Rambo's presence and insisted he leave his town. The plot escalates further when he's unjustifiably arrested for vagrancy and brutalized at the police station repeatedly by other deputies. As Rambo is getting harassed and beaten, the officers show a noticeable pleasure from inflicting pain on him. As you continue to watch this misconduct unfold, you begin to crave some sort of retaliation against this oppressive police force from Rambo, but he remains docile. That is, until he just couldn't take it anymore. It's at this point where this becomes one of the greatest action movies ever made.
