If you've been wondering what ever happened to ex-Green Beret superwarrior John Rambo since he singlehandedly shot up a Pacific Northwest town (First Blood, 1982), returned to the jungles of 'Nam to free U.S. POWs held long after war's end (Rambo: First Blood Part II, 1985), and interrupted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan long enough to blow lots of stuff up and rescue his old commandant from the Reds (Rambo III, 1988), then Rambo (2008) is for you. Without so much as a IV to dilute the brand name, Rambo--which is what most of us called the second, most iconic film in the series--may aspire to open a new era for a pop legend. But it's a thoroughly mechanical attempt to reanimate a franchise that, absent the anger, frustration, and self-loathing of the post-Vietnam years, has no meaning or purpose. For some time now Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has been putt-putting along the Thai-Burmese border in a longboat, catching exotic snakes to sell. As for the 60-year civil war in Burma between the brutal government and the Karen independence movement, he ignores it. Enter a party of American missionaries whose dewy blond spokeswoman (Dexter's Julie Benz) asks Rambo to haul them upriver so that they can bring medical aid to the insurgents. After the requisite number of monosyllabic refusals, he does. Soon afterward the do-gooders are in a world of hurt, and he's summoned to lead a squad of mercenaries on a rescue mission. As storytelling, the latest Rambo is the most bare-bones of the bunch. Rambo has little to say, so it's especially galling that Stallone, as director and co-writer, obliges him to have essentially the same conversation at three different points (the final distillation: "Live for nothing or die for something"). The Burmese army goons seem in competition to commit the most hideous atrocity (e.g., child skull-crushing underfoot), the better to justify the eventual, lovingly protracted spectacle of them being eviscerated by high-powered weaponry. Although shot in Thailand, the movie has mostly been photographed in brown, reducing any particular sense of place but, perhaps, perversely increasing our gratitude for the splashes of purple whenever hot metal tatters flesh. --Richard T.

I have all of the Rambo series and I have to say this last one is the best. Heard Sly was going to make a part five next year. Can't wait.

Okay, okay -- the script is mediocre and the acting is mediocre and Stallone is on steroids -- but I'll be damned, it is entertaining.

This is the best Rambo since the original "First Blood". As for this DVD, it's a 2-disc edition, though the second disc is just a digital copy, which I'm sure most people use as a coaster. The first disc has all the special features that the 1-disc version doesn't have, though as I'm lead to believe, there is a 1-disc version out there that has all the features of this 2-disc edition and that one is in a regular keep case as compared to this 2-disc which comes in a custom case, whereas that special 1-disc edition is only lacking this useless digital copy. So for collectors who can't seek out that special 1-disc edition, you can settle for this 2-disc edition and you'll be just as happy.

Yeah, it's a war film, so killing, blood and rape are to be expected. In this film, don't expect much more than that. It's extremely graphic without much more to fall back on. The setup is simplistic--missionaries want to do the right thing by bringing aid to those oppressed by the Burmese Army, and nothing about it goes well.
Everything about this film is an effort to exhibit the most gross aspects of battle, with almost no character development, minimal context, no chemistry amongst the cast. Even the action can't stand without a blood bath. The only other notable facet of this film is trying to figure out what cosmetic surgery Stallone has done. The irony of missionaries vs murderous rampages is more than a bit blunt.
