Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: About an hour into the movie, after the Burmese troops get dispatched, there is a scene where the troops jump off the back of one of the jeeps, and a whole bunch of mud kicks up and gets stuck to the camera lens. more

Return of the action movie as we know it, 25 January 2008
10/10
Author: mknez from Zagreb, Croatia

First of all, let me start by saying John Rambo is a masterpiece. They don't make them like this anymore. It is a return of the classic action movie of the 80's and 90's but with a touch of modern directing. Some will say it is gory, some will says it has no plot. But let's be honest, nobody wants a dramatic twist or a deeper meaning when they go to see Rambo! And even if you want to, you can still find it in traces. John Rambo is a killing machine but he is also a guy with strong moral values so if you are really looking for a message it is there to be seen. Other than that it is a full blooded action movie that will strap you to your seat for whole 95 minutes!
