The Rambo series is an odd one. First Blood is a great film, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, and Rambo 3 are 80s action films through & through. and Rambo was just a bloody fun flick. Now we get to Rambo: Last Blood, much like Rambo the first act kinda makes you laugh, but where that was from the actors this is from being sappy. Rambo pretty much punched you in the face with brass knuckles dipped in glass after the 20 minute mark but the second act here just feels like we are following a generic character. John Rambo isn't really a character where we need to see his home life, he isn't as complex or lovable as Rocky Balboa. And seeing him in a Taken esque movie is a good idea on paper but it ultimately could have been any other Stallone role. Now the last act, fuck yes! The last act is pure bad ass. The first hour isn't bad perse it is just generic, but the final battle is a bloody good time. Traps being set off, limbs chopped off, it is all you really need.
