Molemmat osaset toimivat hienosti, eivät vain uskottavasti yhdessä, mutta jotenkin kokonaisuus on silti varsin hyvä. Rambon loppuvuodatus on aika liikuttava."

The first film in the famous series is the only one that actually makes some sense. Politicians always send young men to fight useless wars but they aren't interested in taking care of them when they return home, and "First Blood" reminds us of consequences of these kind of morally questionable political "
