Even though I have never been a fan of Sly (except for Copland) he does make in your face escapism films and the latest in the Rambo series is no exception, it wont be winning any Oscars and I couldnât help thinking shouldnât that blue b**tard be content with drawing his pension and injecting himself with monkey glands or budgie spit or something!
Insults aside if you like a well made action film where you donât have to keep explaining the plot to your Mrs then this is for you as although it still couldnât hold a candle to First Blood it is in my opinion better than some of the sequels he delivered.
Sly is a snake catcher (of course he is) who has to take some missionaries up river (painful!) to help bring religion to the Burmese jungle, whilst there all hell breaks loose and all sorts of mayhem ensues, if im honest it is definitely one of the bloodiest Rambo films with body parts flying off all over the place.
So if you like action films and want to chill out for a bit without having to think too much this is for you but be warned a "No Country For Old Menâ it aint!
