Review of First Blood

First Blood (1982)
8/10
An excellent movie with substance and style!
8 June 2001
This movie achieves the difficult to attain combination of having a gripping story and solid, excellent action. John Rambo (Stallone) is a rough, tough Green Beret suffering from severe Post Tramatic Stress Disorder after suffering horrible atrocities in Vietnam. While drifting through a small hick town, he is hassled and abused by local cops because of his long hair. Pushed too far, he violently escapes the clutches of the police. An huge manhunt ensues and Rambo has to defend himself.

Final Rating: 8/10 - A great movie. Excellent performances all around, especially by Stallone, who is both subtle and menacing. Recommended to all.
