When Sylvester Stallone decided to bring back Rambo for one last go-around in 2008, he wasn’t joking around. This time, John Rambo was given the task of saving a group of missionaries held captive in a remote area by a militant Burmese regime. Once missionaries were killed and revenge entered the equation, there were many horrific images to behold: Rambo, literally, liquefying dozens of bad guys with a mounted Gatling gun and literally disembowels another, just in case you missed anatomy class that night.
Anyway, fact of the matter is this: What was supposed to be a swan song for Rambo and Sly has turned into the release of yet another sequel, “Rambo: Last Blood.” At this point, all I can look forward to is the same R-rated carnage of the last film. I don’t expect a work of art, nor do I expect anything new to be said. ‘Last Blood’ is a film that is surely intended to roid-up every ’80s action movie trope we’ve come to know all-too-well these last 30 years.
“Rambo: Last Blood” will be released on September 30th, 2019.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
