Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
In Thailand, a group of Christian aid workers recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma. 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.
"After 20 years since the release of 'Rambo III', Sylvester Stallone returned to the iconic role of John Rambo once again - as well as sitting in the director's chair and g the script. In the story, we find the former Vietnam veteran once again trying to lead a peaceful life in Thailand, but he ends up getting involved in a nearby conflict. Unequal and without the positive points of the first movie (the criticism of war and the way veterans are treated) and the second (the action in the 1980s style), 'Rambo' explores the excess of violence, which approaches gore - and which perfectly delivers what action fans "without limits" want to watch. The result is a feature film that displeased the critics, but that made a good part of the longtime fans happy."
