I saw it a few weeks ago, possibly the grittiest (and bloodiest!) film you will see for a while
Its certainly not very Hollywood, very raw and quite sad at the start (actual footage of beatings and bodies in Burma, mixed in with some harrowing scenes of soldiers killing folk for fun)
Obviously the last half of the film is Rambo going ballistic and killing everything in sight, but the brutality of it is quite disturbing!
Its been criticised for being a 'slasher' movie, but as Stallone says a slasher film is a bunch of kids being knocked off by a man in a silly mask - this is a story of war and what its like in reality. I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend!
A good series of films (apart from III which was pants and too much 'Americans are ace' focus)
First Blood I think is possibly Stallones greatest role
FB Part II - I was 13 or so, and at the time I thought it was the best thing ever! "Murdoch.......I'm coming to get....you...." - Ace!
Rambo III is quite funny really when you think about it - Rambo helps and trains the Taliban (sorry Mudjhadin) to defeat the Russians. 10 years later the CIA trained Mudjhadin (sorry Taliban) blow the shit out of America...Quite ironic...Was a poor attempt at a political put down of the Russians that eventually slapped them in the face
And Rambo IV - go see it. Brill - as raw as the first one, and a body count of 2.87 per minute! (thats official!)
