Sylvester Stalone and Lionsgate has decided to make another Rambo sequel.
In this movie filled with awesome graphic violence and thrilling actions, John Rambo, a soldier without a country is still haunted by the past memories of his warring days. The civil war in this remote Asian country, which tearing its country and its people apart is underminded by the governments and nations around the world; even by our hero. A missionary group from an American church visits the country to help out the innocent civilian victims who are in desperate need of medical help and hope. Unable to find a way to get up the river where their victims await them, they request the assistance of Rambo, who is now a worn out snake hunter who has a boat that could take them up the river. Reluctlant at first, but Rambo is moved by one of the missioners and takes them to their destination.
The missioners are captured by the menacing government army and is confined, tortured, harassed, and killed, and the church hires a team of mercenaries to extract them and Rambo, joins them.

This particular movie is directed by Sylvester himself, which I always find intriguing for a main character to direct his own movie, is astonishing. Over exaggerated but still mind blowing actions captures you attention throughout the entire screening. Probably the best graphic violence I have seen this year and last year, 2007.
One disappointing part of this film, which is not very important, is that the depth of the characters are very shallow except for Rambo. There is no time to get to know all of your characters well enough to feel sympathy or hate; then again, it's a kick-ass action thriller!
If you are blood thirsty, if you have the warrior's blood in you, and if you are a previous Rambo's fan, without a doubt you have to go see this.
I'll give it Three and a half stars.
*WARNING* : Do not take your children thinking it will be alright. They'll cry.
