Rambo

What you see is what you get.
Some 20 years after the last outing, Sylvester Stallone dusts off Rambo for a blood filled romp through troubled Burma.
I can't really elaborate more on the film as the story is pretty simple, Rambo unwillingly helps a bunch of missionaries reach the troubled country and then gets drawn into the conflict.
The body count is astronomical as is the use of the tomato sauce.
I have to say I thought this was much better than I was expecting. It's not Shakespeare but Stallone does send Rambo off much in the same way as he did Rocky Balboa last year.
While Rocky was a much, much better film in all ways, Rambo is what you'd expect from his character.
A 6 out of 10 and it's definitely a big screen job with a bunch of guys.
