Rambo: Last Blood - 2/5

The first three quarters of this movie is a ‘mourning the state of the world’ drama and only the last 25 minutes is the brutal action we’ve come to expect from this franchise. It’s disturbing and uncomfortable to watch, and even though it has good intentions the final act doesn’t make up for the rest of the movie. I only recommend this to fans of the series who need to know how it ends.

Content warning: human trafficking, intense grit, brutal violence

Closest comparison: It’s like Wind River by way of Man on Fire (2004).

Setting: Modern Western
Plot: Kidnap
Tone: Revenge
