JOHN RAMBO (2008)

John Rambo the indestructable Vietnam vet returns once again to our screens. This time around , the fourth in the series , a group of Christian aid workers in Thailand recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth.

The body count is high and the violence extreme. Stallone pulls out all the stops here . Older he may be ,and more intensely morose than ever, but for his age Stallone still maintains a presence to be reckoned with and quite literally towers over everybody else. His charisma and sheer star quality shine through as ever and makes for possibly the best film in the series. There's some cool flashbacks to the earlier Rambo films included, and the ending ( without giving too much away ) is a nice touch which kind of ends where First blood began. One thing i found missing though was Richard Crenna who died in 2003 sadly.
