John Rambo (2008)
Sylvester Stallone and a whole bunch of bit parts
In Thailand, John Rambo is living peacefully capturing snakes and transporting people and cargo in an old boat. But when he joins a group of mercenaries to venture into war-torn Burma, and rescue a group of Christian aid workers who were kidnapped by the ruthless local infantry unit. Rambo refuses, but is convinced by another member, Sarah Miller, to take them up there. When the aid workers are captured by the Burmese army, Rambo decides to venture alone into the war zone to rescue them
5/10. Possibly the ultimate in 'take-your-brain-out' entertainment weighing in at an almost documentary-esque 72 minutes (at least this version was)
The usual predictable story-line and mumbling Sly but the special effects (legs being blown off, etc) are pretty darn good for those who like that sort of thing.
Credit to Stallone though, because even though the jowls are certainly showing their age, he's kept himself pumped, unlike some cigar-smoking politicians I could name. Stallone can still get away with it but I think Rambo 5 might be pushing it too far.
Yes, it's straight-to-video meaningless drivel but I gotta level with you - I enjoyed it far more than I enjoyed Darjeeling Express.
