Rambo
on DVD (2007)
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden
Director: Sylvester Stallone
Certificate: 
I don't know what it is about some people handing out plaudits to a film that basically takes all of 30 seconds to explain its entire plotline but perhaps when you need to enjoy 60 minutes of endless blood n guts trajectories being tossed messily all over the screen then Rambo is the film for you.
We last left John Rambo helping soon-to-be Taliban fighters battle against the marauding Soviet army in Afghanistan many years ago in Rambo 3 with merely a bow and arrow and his trusty combat knife for company....well, still surly and still completely incomprehensible to understand his gurning excuse for a voice, Rambo has since relocated to a nice riverside house in a perennially raining part of Asia where some self-righteous religious aid workers ask him for a lift down river to a truly genocidal part of Burma.
Before we know it, the aid workers get themselves into a spot of bother in Burma and Rambo is called in to save the day....and massacre hundreds of soldiers, literally single-handedly.
Ok, the plot has about as much depth as a thimble and the dialogue is more or less non-existent and Rambo himself really ought to start acting his age by putting his cardigan on, chucking some Werther's Originals down his gob and reading the People's Friend instead of gallivanting off to decapitate, disembowel and dismember the Burmese army man-by-man and limb-by-limb.
Anyway, what can you say? the gore comes as thick and fast and Rambo is, well, just thick both physically and mentally, despite that it all makes up for a relatively enjoyable gorefest that harks back to the days of 80s action movies.
3 out of 5.
