Well lets get our clip boards and go over our check list before talking about Rambo. Guns check, Bullets check, Bad Guys check, Blood check, and a lot of body parts flying around check. Well we are all ready so now on with the review. Twenty years after the last film in the series, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has retreated to northern Thailand, where he's running a longboat on the Salween River. On the nearby Thai-Burma (Myanmar) border, the world's longest-running civil war, the Burmese-Karen conflict, rages into its 60th year. But Rambo, who lives a solitary, simple life in the mountains and jungles fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as medics, mercenaries, rebels and peace workers pass by on their way to the war-torn region.
Well walking into Rambo I was saying he is too old to be doing this type of film, in the latest Rocky film he was good and you can believe him coming back to the ring like George Foreman did but in this film you cannot believe him doing everything he does in this film. After watching this movie he pulls is off some times and some times it looks so fake one of the scene that is non believable, he is running for a bomb that is blowing up and you could tell is made by cgi and it looks so bad.
But they pull it off Rambo was a watchable film don't get me wrong it not a great film but it was better than I though it would be. The acting was ok nothing great which is no surprise Sylvester does his usually way of taking you could tell he was trying to be a little bit different but it still came off as his usually way. The rest of the actor were ok in their roles but this was mostly a Sylvester film he was the only main star. The action scenes were intense and very bloody if you are not into blood scene than this is not the film for you there is a lot of body part flying around more time then I can count.
Overall I keeping this review short it wasn't a great film but the action makes up for the flaws of the film, and it was much better than I thought it would be check it out today.
