Rambo/action fans will not be disappointed.The Rambo franchise underwent a massive change after the first movie, and that new direction has stuck with the series ever since they put Rambo in the title. Everything from the music, to the action to the character to the final scene. (No big deal) Finally, the integrity of the series as a whole has been kept in tact. My only real gripe with the film was scenes that were sped up in post. It is replaced with realism which amounts to some of the best and most intense action sequences I've ever seen. Rambo pulls no punches.It's brutality, violence and gore are rooted in reality. It has a similar feel to Black Hawk Down and borrows its chaotic action. The ironic thing is that Rambo actually gives a vivid and some would say accurate portrayal of war. (Stick to giving awful movies like The Skeleton Key thumbs up guys). Critics will whine as they always do about the excessive violence, gore and lack of story. Stallone slips back into the role with ease and his supporting players do an admirable job. Yes some dialog is questionable and there are a few, albeit brief, scenes that don't quite work, but make no mistake, this movie takes no prisoners. This installment combines elements from all three previous movies but this one had a much more realistic feel. Rambo is without question a sick action movie and Stallone has proved himself again as an intense actor and as a solid director.
