 Rambo after twenty years it’s now the fourth installment of everybody’s favorite Vietnam vet with post traumatic stress disorder is back…Yes Rambo hitting theatres after 20 years with Avi Lerner, Kevin King and John Thompson co-producer the film, scripted and directed by Sylvester Stallone and he is also in the title role.
So will the first sight of John J. Rambo after two decades will prove similarly rewarding?
But what worked for the beloved underdog does the one-man killing machine no favors.What remain are a lot of hyper-realistic, brutal violence; snatches of banal dialogue; and all the escalating dramatic tension of a video game. So in short No. 4 is one big snore!!! “Rambo” stands as a worldwide phenomenon with its 11 executive producers who are pleased with those final tallies.
Other trite character in the Stallone- and Art Monterastelli- scripts are not that lucky and this makes it easier not to become emotionally invested when a good portion of them are beheaded to bits by the intense, bloody violence. If you consider from the audience point of view you wish Stallone had instead headed in the other direction pulling out all stops and going out a blaze of glory. Stallone is intent on showing the thoughtful, vulnerable man behind the legend, stripping him of most of that showy '80s gear (but allowing him to keep his shirt on) and ending on a sun-drenched, silly post during which a weary Rambo discovers that you can go home again. |
