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.
That all changes when a group of human rights
missionaries search out the "American river guide" John
Rambo. When Sarah (JULIE BENZ) and Michael Bennett (PAUL
SCHULZE) approach him, they explain that since last year's
trek to the refugee camps, the Burmese military has laid
landmines along the road, making it too dangerous for
overland travel. They ask Rambo to guide them up the Salween
and drop them off, so they can deliver medical supplies and
food to the Karen tribe. After initially refusing to cross
into Burma, Rambo takes them, dropping off Sarah, Michael
and the aid workers...
Less than two weeks later, pastor Arthur Marsh (KEN
HOWARD) finds Rambo and tells him the aid workers did not
return and the embassies have not helped locate them. He
tells Rambo he's mortgaged his home and raised money from
his congregation to hire mercenaries to get the
missionaries, who are being held captive by the Burmese
army. Although the United States military trained him to be
a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Rambo's
reluctance for violence and conflict are palpable, his scars
faded, yet visible. However, the lone warrior knows what he
must do...

Rambo

The political undertones
are subtle enough not to turn off the
fans of American Idol, but resonate well
with those in the know. The obvious
brutality has it's own philosophical
message. Given the caliber of ammunition
utilized (.50cal), the gore is very
realistic. The desire of the
"warrior" to fight for "good" is
timeless, Stallone captures this
simplicity within the movie "Better to
die for something,
than live for nothing". Given the
ending, I look forward to another Rambo
sequel. |

There is nothing as all
american as Rambo. Stallone is the
man . What a good kicker when Rambo is
on the 50 cal just laying waste to the
faceless masses of human refuse. God
this is what action movies are supposed
to be. We are all so sick of the liberal
crap that comes from Hollywood these
days, it is great to see Rambo back .. |

like I am a kid again for the fact that
I am amazed once more by the talent of
this guy to make these piece of art.
