Rambo

Per Robyn, "BEWARE: There is a movie in this violence."

No joke. This is a violent movie. People don't just get shot, they explode. Their heads get decapitated, stomaches, necks, bellys, removed.

The movie starts bad. Painfully bad. Like, "give up Stallone" bad. He co-wrote and directed this movie. Like he did with the new Rocky.

In the end, I liked Rambo more than Rocky Balboa. The second half was action packed and not incredibly stupid...only a campy stupid. Rambo kills a lot of people and shows up at the right time. There are even a few good grumbling lines mixed in with mostly painful dialog...

"We're going in there to change things."
"Are you bringing guns?"
"No. No."
"They you're not changing anything."
