cinemajesty Movie Review: "Rambo" (2007)Slightly delayed in exhibition efforts for a preliminary release in holiday season 2007/2008, Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone directs himself reprising the legendary U.S. military drop-out "John Rambo" to the heart in balance-seeking beginnings in small village by the river in Thailand after years of mercenaries war-zone labor reaching from being hunted in his homeland "First Blood" (1982) to a devastating traumatizing mission of reentering Vietnam in "Part II" (1985) and further far-regions of slave-like states of mine labor toward rescuing his sole friend in life, U.S. military black-op mission granting Colonel Trautman from the clutches of invading Russian forces in Afghanistan in 1988, when Rambo must one more time indulge into mass-killings beyond ultra-violent proportions executed with live-action gun-shells, bow & arrow, grenades and machine-guns to rescue a Christian activist group, entering a war-zone with pink-eyed wish to bring meaning and change a world gone havoc.Director Sylvester Stallone, who had also been co-written the screenplay with Art Monterastelli that wants to be nothing more than full-bodied, honesty-seeking war-action-thriller entertainment with sharing personal thoughts on hidden conflicts raging around the globe; here the for five decades struggling state of Burma, now the official republic of Myanmar, building a government apart from a Military state ruling from 1962 to 2011 in which this motion picture is set with pitch-striking 85-Minute-cut by editor Sean Albertson, who despite fairly-covered angles of cinematography in fast-paced close-to-action shots, bringing a transforming character of John Rambo, who becomes the war machine in every spectator mind to push war-action to final extremes with combining live-action ultra-violence with digital polishing works, when this re-interpretation of what war injects into a man's spirit turn into a beating heart, which lies under a wall of memories to cope with, while life spins on to fulfillment.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

david-546 If you want lots of action and Stallone at his Rambo/Rocky we are going to beat the S*** out of the baddies best than this is the movie for you. Otherwise this movie is pure cheese. It is all over the top. Rambo takes a bunch of do good missionaries far up into Thailand where the Karen rebels are fighting the Thai government. Despite his warnings off they go. Naturally the Thai soldiers come along to clean out the village and we mean clean out. Even these soldiers give ethnic cleansing a bad name all the while laughing and guffawing their way to mass mayhem and murder. The missionaries are spared for whatever reason. Maybe whiteys make good prisoners for later exchange who knows. Anyway Rambo is now being persuaded to go back and rescue the poor begotten missionaries with a merry band of mercenaries seemingly headed by one bad-ass Brit. Tension mounts between Rambo and the mercenaries and they want him to stay and hold the boat for them while they go off to rescue the missionaries from the evil Thai soldiers. Naturally things go awry but don't worry Rambo comes to the rescue and the last part of the film is taken with more blood and guts blowing all over the place then one has probably ever seen in a movie. Too bad it all looks so gratuitous and downright silly laughable even. Anyway Rambo saves the female missionary from sure fire rape and pillage and the Karen rebels arrive in the nick of time (kind of like the old US cavalry arriving to save the white settlers from the evil Indians) and the day is saved and the body count mounts and mounts and mounts. Well you get the picture. All we can say is it's an adrenaline rush but don't expect a serious movie because it is all pure cheese! ANd Rambo growls off into the sunset or whatever it is.

bondguy77 stallone plays rambo again in this great film full of action and suspense. this is my favorite stallone film, even over the other three rambo films prior to this one,which were also great movies. stallone doesn't fail to entertain in this latest installment of the rambo franchise.two thumbs way up!!!!

Leofwine_draca As hard-hitting as a sucker punch to the jaw, Sylvester Stallone powerhouses his way back into the modern consciousness with this, the fourth in the successful Rambo series. It's been twenty long years since his hero appeared in the cheesy, tacky RAMBO III and the good news is that Stallone has learned a few things by then. With the star returning in a dual role as both actor and director, it really rests on his rather broad shoulders as to whether this is any cop. The good news is that it is: some have complained that Rambo takes a sideline in this outing, but that's not the case. John Rambo, when we meet him, is an older, wiser, more experienced warrior, but one who remains just as vicious as he was in the past. And viciousness is the key when it comes to RAMBO, because this is one of the most savage films you'll ever witness.Stallone pulls no punches when depicting the brutal military regime in Burma. Innocents are shot and killed on a routine basis; rape and torture are commonplace occurrences, and even children and babies aren't safe from the soldiers. One particular sequence sees a hideous 'game' in which they Burmese soldiers innocent villagers to run through booby-trapped paddy fields where they inevitably get blown to shreds. Of course, this violence simmers and burns as the film goes on, until the last half sees Rambo hitting back, and boy does he snap. The climax is a visceral ride of revenge and retribution, where the bloodshed really goes overboard. If you thought the opening of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN was gruesome, you ain't seen nothing yet. Aided by a mercenary buddy with a super-power rifle, Stallone tears out throats, knocks off heads, and goes berserk with an anti-aircraft gun in his bid to rid the world of these evil soldiers. What happens is best left a surprise, but I'll guarantee that it doesn't disappoint. I haven't been this pumped at a film's climax since I saw HOSTEL.Of course, the directing is perfect, and Stallone's acting is the best yet, reaching new levels of subtlety. He's supported by a varied bunch of characters, including an unlikeable Christian, a token female, a stereotyped Cockney, and some fun mercenaries. The director of photography deserves mention for his excellent camera-work, recalling the glory days of the 1980s jungle-set war epics, but with a grittier, more modern edge. Of course, the action is fantastic, but what's equally amazing is that the non-action bits are just as riveting. One of those films you'll want to watch over and over, RAMBO's a masterpiece of a movie, a non-stop thrill ride that never lets up.
