Rambo 2008 - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Having seen the earlier Rambos and yet to review,I was surprised how true to the earlier 3 films this one was dispute the fact that  Sylvester Stallone ,who IS John Rambo ,is actually older than ME !!!! I guess being from NYC like me,is the secret.That all said,this 2008 release that runs 92 minutes,suffers from the same weakness as all the others,good finally wins over evil no matter the odds and its always easy to tell the difference.Thus the 2 stars off.Thats also the strength of the franchise.We want a righteous  winner when all is said and done,and in Sly we trust !!! In this installment the bad guys are the government of Burma.Rambo,against his better judgement,helps a group of christian missionaries bring humanitarian aid to the rebels because of the "words"the really HOT blond ( Julie Benz as Sarah) in the group tells him,ha,ha.
But does that REALLY matter,HELL NO.What matters is the christian missionaries are captured by really bad government forces and when a group of diverse mercenaries are sent to release them,Rambo is recruited to guide them.Thats all you need to know as the grand escape provides all the bloody justice you both need and want.Trailer URL follows the picture.BLOODY good ride and NOT for impressionable kids.
