Rambo

I'm sure you've heard the old saying, "You can't go home again!" Sylvester Stallone has proven that some saying just aren't true. He proved it in Rocky Balboa, and he proves it again in Rambo.

Unlike the three previous Rambo movies, this one has a different edge to it. Since Rambo 3, movies like Saving Private Ryan have redined war movies. With Stallone at the director seat for this one, Rambo takes the new direction of war movies and turns the volume up! Like other Rambo movies, the situation evolves around a real life conflict, this time hitting on the genicide of Burma.

Everytime I see a Rambo movie, I figure that Stallone has at least one page of dialogue to read from as the movie progresses. Stallone looks a little hagered in this movie, granted he is around 60. He gives another masterful perfomance as John Rambo. While Stallone doesn't get the acting credit he deserves, you have to at least agree with the fact that of all of the characters he has played, he knows Rocky Balboa and John Rambo better than anyone.

As for the story, it seems pretty simple! A bunch of do-gooders want to go to Burma to help out with the injured and poor, and of course, they don't listen to Rambo when he tells them to go home. They go anyway, end up getting caught, and get tortured! So it's Rambo to the rescue, with the help of a few mercenaries.

If you are still a Stallone fan, this movie is a must. If you think Stallone is washed up and can't draw a crowd like he used to, check this one out and see for yourself. If you have no interest in this movie, Rambo isn't for you!
