LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Eric Stevenson I guess I'm more with the critics on this one. I didn't care much for this movie because I thought it was mostly pointless. It's just the same old stuff of Rambo arriving and killing everybody. It's not even until the last part that you even see Rambo wipe out a bunch of people. I'm annoyed by the clichés in this movie. You see someone trying to get help from Rambo and he says he can't make a big difference or something like that. There's this odd scene where we see a bunch of flashbacks that looks like trailer fodder that shouldn't be in a movie.There were rumors of a fourth Rambo movie made where he would fight Osama bin Laden. This is that fourth movie but he doesn't partake in the War on Terror. I doubt that if he did, the movie would be any better. It's mostly an excuse to constantly show death and destruction. Now the fight scenes themselves were actually pretty well done. It's just that character development is taken away in case of explosions. It's really no worse than any other big budget action flick. I've now seen every Rambo movie and it's been okay watching them. **

pcowin-69003 This movie is just pure action galore, for action fans alike. While yes there isn't much to go on for drama or stuff like that it is just action through and through. Being based on a real war that is rarely talked about it is a good look at the underbelly of conflicts that aren't so well known as the war in the Middle-East, which is popularized by Hollywood to make a quick buck, but by looking into not so known wars it will give the audience a look from a movie perspective of the gritty horrors of war

adonis98-743-186503 Heroes never die.... They just reload. And with this tag line you understand what kind of movie you're about to watch i remember people making fun of Stallone because he was too old in this film in order to play Rambo again? Aww please he was amazing as Rocky in Rocky Balboa only 2 years ago and he totally kills it on Rambo IV also he directs and also stars as the famous hero and let me tell you something this is how movies need to look like R-Rated Violence not PG-13 if PG can work in some certain of films then OK but Expendables with a PG-13 rating seriously? what where they thinking? Rambo 4 has way too much violence and people judged the film a lot about it but that's what makes it so awesome Sly tried to capture how cold and brutal the war is in this countries and he nailed it. The 4th Part also has the perfect ending for our hero and i'm glad that Sylvester Stallone chose to terminate Rambo 5 because it was going to be a big mistake since this film shows him going back home.

juneebuggy Well holly hell Rambo is back with a vengeance here. Probably one of the most violent films I've seen but I will say once the audience got over the initial shock at the type of visceral, brutal and gratuitous violence we were witnessing we started cheering with each blood spraying kill. It was entertaining in a grisly sort of way.I've been a lifelong fan of the Rambo franchise and this fourth instalment is excellent, granted a very different type of film then the originals. It's a bit light in the plot department but set in a backdrop of real life atrocities in Burma. We join Rambo 20 years after his little Afghanistan extraction, John is living the quiet life in a rural village in Northern Thailand, he has given up fighting, found a shirt and now spends his days capturing snakes for local entertainers, and chauffeuring locals in his old PT boat.He's also gotten pretty bitter with age, world weary and tired so that when a group of Christian missionaries ask for his help in reaching their aid camp in war torn Burma he refuses, his response at one point being "fu** the world". After pretty blonde Sarah Miller tries again to get his help (this time giving him a necklace -seems that's all the girls have to do to get his attention) he finally agrees to ferry them upriver.Some time later the mission is attacked, the do-gooders taken hostage and Rambo is now asked to transport a group of mercenaries, on a rescue mission and that's when hell rains down. The violence from this point on is brutal and gratuitous, with video game style killings, bodies blown apart, blood spraying the camera, tons of explosions. After that savage attack on the village you don't have much remorse though.The closing scene is just perfect...the long road home. 1/5/16
