"John Rambo"



Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of the earlier Rambo films! Don't get me wrong, they are complete escapist rubbish [violent, ridiculous, laughable, etc etc] and most of the time its about moving between being impressed by the stunts, laughing out loud at the simplistic 'everything' and just being flabbergasted by the juxtaposition to Vietnam [the treatment of veterans/the existence of lost POWs], Afghanistan and now Burma!!!!!!!!

I have read very little about Stallone's latest and final instalment in the Rambo series... but the use of the Prayer of St Francis next to blood curdling vigilante action for the cause of everything that's right, decent and caring.... come on!! Quintessential RAMBO!!
