''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 in his physicality and facial expressions, making this film at times feel like a silent movie. You can just easily see even from certain things he says that John Rambo is kind of tired, bored, a bit lonely though it doesn't bother him much, still carries those internal post traumatic war scars, but most of all carries an anger within himself. From the world he doesn't like how things have changed and are going but most of all feels frustrated at himself knowing all of his actions in his former mercenary role throughout the years haven't changed anything. You can just see he's a man just waiting for a chance once more to put things right as well as finally find his sense of inner peace and just a home to come back home to. Well at least that's how I saw it. I'll admit despite Rambo's age he can still kick butt, he may have been out of the game for a while but has came back strong.

One of the other things I like about the film is the gritty realism, it makes this film a bit unsettling at times because everything that happens in it actually feels real, making Rambo feel all the more like a character that can exist. From the cinematography which is shot in documentary style makes the envorment and everything that happens in the film feel palpable. The actions scenes are brutally honest, I've seen a lot of violence in certain movies but this one just about takes the cake, we see it as both grotesque but also at least when the good guys wield it beautiful, love it or hate it or both it's what it is. Like when there are certain gun shots bodies get shredded or blown apart literally just a lot of crazy carnage, so word of warning don't eat or drink anything at those scenes if you can't handle it.

''Live for nothing, or die for something.''

The film relies on suspenseful build up before any action is taken. We at first see some scenes where the evil army is doing a lot of senseless awful things like any real corrupt army would. We hate these guys and that's the point, I just know these guys are just asking for it; it made me just wait at certain moments at the edge of my seat thinking Rambo's coming, he's coming any minute now, and when Rambo comes in at the right moment when the situation cuts real close to the edge, I'll just say it feels great and the bad guys get what they deserve.
I'll just say a few of my favorite scenes, one of course is that memorable moment when Rambo is making a Machete before going into action and then is giving a speech to himself sort of a post modern philosophical mantra: "war is in your blood and when your pushed killing is as easy as breathing."
A suspenseful moment when of course there are some villagers that are forced to run in rice patties and some of those evil army men play a sick game with them buy planting a few land mines in them. When the villagers get through alive, we see the bad guys trying to force them to run again. And at the right moment suddenly Rambo pops out and shoots arrows at the evil solders though the head and other vital places. I sincerely heard a bit of cheering when that happened.

''Maybe you've lost your faith in people. But you must still be faithful to something. You must still care about something. Maybe we can't change what is. But trying to save a life isn't wasting your life, is it?''

But of course my favorite moment is in the last half of the film when it leads to probably one of the longest, bloodiest, battle sequences I've ever seen, it's typically total carnage. When Rambo takes a machine gun turret and is just mowing down each and every evil army man coming his way, and I mean they come from everywhere it's literally a continuous almost never ending action.

Well, I've said enough I'll just say it was great seeing John Rambo once again for the last time fighting defending all that is good in his final war and won. I'm going to miss him but in the end of the film I'll just say he finally comes back home.

''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.''
