This is the fourth, and probably the last of the Rambo series starring Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo. John is now in Thailand and meets a group of missionaries who are on their way to a town only accessible by boat…which John owns a boat and is the only one who knows the way, but he refuses to take them and tells them that they cannot help. Not understanding why John says that, Sarah (Julie Benz) pushes the matter further and John finally agrees.

After they get to their destination, all seems well and peaceful when all of a sudden there is shooting and people running for their lives. A military unit is taking over the town and kills anyone who gets in the way of their gun. When all is said and done, they take the remaining survivors and do unmentionable things to them. Because no word is heard from the missionaries, mercenaries are sent to check out it out. Needing John and his boat again, they set off to find out what happened and almost get killed themselves until John steps in.

I wasn’t all that interested in seeing this movie as I’m not a huge Rambo fan, but after watching a copy of a friend’s, it turns out that it was actually pretty good. What I find interesting, is that Stallone not only wrote the screenplay, but also directed it and starred in it…that takes not only a master in multi-tasking, but talent as well!! It did get rather graphic with all of the killings, but to me I think it was worth it because it gives you an idea of what the people went through! I think my favorite part of the movie is when John gets on the “mega” gun that’s on the back of one of the enemy’s military trucks and just starts blasting the bad guys away.

As I said before, it really surprised me at how good it was. Would I recommend it? If you are in the mood for a good ass whoopin’, then ya, go and see it
