''Y'know what you are, what you're made of. War is in your blood. When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing.'' John Rambo joins a group of mercenaries to venture into war-torn Burma, and rescue a group of Christian aid workers who were kidnapped by the ruthless local infantry unit. Sylvester Stallone: John Rambo Julie Benz: Sarah Miller This is a pure unstoppable action film right from the word go, hugely violent DO not see if you're squeamish... One of the things i interesting things about it is the fact that there is minimum dialogue in the film, though there is obviously dialogue but nothing all together noteworthy. But that's a good thing the Rambo character was never really much of a talker anyway, he doesn't need to say much of anything the content is just...Read more

"You know what you are. What you're made of. War is in your blood. Don't fight it. You didn't kill for your country. You killed for yourself. God's never gonna make that go away. When you're pushed, killing's as easy as breathing." It's been a long time since the decade of the 80s concluded. This was a decade when action films were ripe and extensively successful: they were brutal, violent and entertaining. In the era of contemporary action movies, violence is commonly diluted to accomplish a docile classification appropriate for a mainstream audience. Action lovers desired more...they were sick of the childish, watered-down violence being portrayed. When an aging Sylvester Stallone announced the creation of a fourth Rambo movie, his objective was to resurrect the classic gratuitous vio...Read more

An excuse for colossal amounts of violence and gore - and I love it! If it wasn't for Stallone this film would be relegated to the depths of B-movie basements as there isn't really much in the way of plot or message. Troubled former soldier - John Rambo - is back. After living a peaceful and modest life in an unassuming Thai village he is approached by Christian missionaries who request he take them up river to help the natives of war-torn Burma. Against his will he helps them, but gets news weeks later that they never returned. Cue a band of missionaries who are sworn in to try and rescue them, reigniting Rambo's taste for blood and forcing him to add to his mountainous kill count in spectacular style. This film draws attention to the conflict in Burma with brutal realism and that...Read more

From watching the overly violent trilogy, expections were high too see simular carnage. And after seeing it I can still say overkill is not in Rambos vocabulary. After coming out the theatre my senses were bombarded with the amount of explosions, decapitated limbs, and mindless chaos. You find yourself wearing a sandwich board with the message 'i hate burma' on it, for the bad light that is shed on the brutal country. Rambos kill ratio are just as ridiculous if not more proposterous than the last three but nostagic fun as we see 'John' helping out the 'do gooders' to help an abused village with haralious and explosive results. I would suggest to anyone who have seen the likes of the outrageous Commando or Hardboiled to watch rambo if not for the oneliners but for counting the pin...Read more

Its Rambo... enough explaining! Would have been a hard job to do better than the original, that said i do like a good action flick still, but im a bit older than when i first saw the original so this latest installment just didn't do it for me.

I cannot believe, how extremely great, this film is. John Rambo, is back, and he is bad-ass. The action, is spectacular, and some heads were even chopped off. This is such a great film. If you do not enjoy watching films, that have very gruesome scenes, then do not watch this. If you love intense action, from beginning to end, with a lot of blood and violence, then this is the film for you.
