Review:
If you want to see a movie with an insanely high body count and little else, then this is your film. I applaud it for being fast paced, and for jumping right in to the cruelty and violence. The thing is, one doesn't watch a Rambo movie for plot (I'd hope), so most who came to this expecting an action killathon will be satisfied. The plot has Rambo working as a snake capturer when he is recruited to drive a boat to war torn Burma by some religious do-gooders. He reluctantly agrees, but 10 days later when nobody has heard from the religious folks he meets some mercenaries assigned to bring back the missing folks. He wants to help, they don't want to let him help so he helps anyways. Big "plot" huh....but any how there are so many exploded people and carnage that any action lover should be pleased. At least Rambo hasn't gone soft after all these years...in fact this has to be one of the bloodiest movies ever!
