Rambo is the fourth film in Sylvester Stallone’s chronicle of war as a motivating force to develop character in an unsure world. He stars, directed, produced and wrote the film to show how his trademark character of John Rambo comes out of retirement as a fighter when he realizes the injustices in the civil war raging on the border between Thailand and Burma. He realizes that killing and fighting are the only skills he developed in life. More violent and explosive than previous “Rambo” films and more introspective because it shows that Stallone really can show emotion when he puts his mind to it. Rated R for violence and worth 2 ½ stars.

Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Paul Schulze, Matthew Marsden, Tim Kang
