This latest installment in the John Rambo saga might have seemed like one of the dumbest ideas to come out of Hollywood, especially when you consider that Stallone is now 62 years old. So with some trepidation I approached this film, only out of a certain loyalty, because I grew up as a child watching the previous adventures. And my verdict after seeing this: It absolutely rocked!

Moving away from the recent crop of "bullet-time" and unrealistic action movies, Stallone (who also directs) takes us back with an old school action style. Pure muscle and firepower. And this movie outdoes any Rambo film which came before. The villians are meaner, the body count is higher and the deaths are bloodier. This has to be one of the most violent action movies out there, so if you're not into numerous flying limbs, decapitated heads and bodies getting blown to bits (literally), then steer clear.

As for the rest of you, if you're in the mood for a classic Hollywood action movie of good guys taking on the bad guys, then this is definitely a good choice. Credit must be given to Stallone who stuck to his guns, even though many ridiculed his plans to resurrect two of his most famous characters. And now? His last two movies, Rocky Balboa and now Rambo have both been a most welcome 'blast from the past', enjoying phenomenal success at the box office, against all odds. Welcome back, Sly. (4 out of 5, by Carlisle Johnson)

Having survived many a treacherous campaign, Vietnam veteran John Rambo has withdrawn to lead a simple life in a remote Thai village near the Burmese border.

A group of Christian missionaries plead with him to ferry them into the war-torn neighbouring country to deliver much needed aid to the downtrodden Karen people. Reluctantly Rambo agrees to make the dangerous journey and the missionaries head off into the remote jungle. Having finally reached their destination the missionaries are attacked and kidnapped when the village they are staying in is raided by government soldiers led by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint.

When they fail to return, Rambo leads a team of crack mercenaries back into the jungle on a mission to rescue the captives with explosive consequences. The team including Lewis and sniper Schoolboy raid the enemy camp with devastating effect which leads to the mother of all fights taking place and Rambo back doing what he does best, killing!
