Rambo (2008) 7/10

Starring : Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish
Director : Sylvester Stallone
Running Time : 88 mins

After leading a group of Christian Aid workers into a situation where they are all taken hostage, John Rambo (Stallone) is asked to take a group of mercenaries into Burma where the workers were last seen by him. As he ventures further into the war torn country, Rambo starts to find himself falling into his violent ways again, as a matter of necessity rather than a case of want.

Having only ever seen the first Rambo film, this is a far cry from that thought provoking movie. Although there is a lot of scenes of human suffering, this doesn’t really have the heart of the original, and instead focuses on the violence rather than Rambo’s internal conflicts.
