8/10
Messy
4 October 2019
Everyone who sees a Rambo movie should know what they're getting themselves into. It's going to be a messy, messy trip with blood 'n guts everywhere. And this film doesn't provide that on a discount. You want to watch bad guys die in the most gruesome, messed up ways possible? Here ya go.

John Rambo has been living with an adoptive family for 10 years, and spends his time trying to keep his demons from his past at bay. One day, his adoptive daughter decides to go look for her father in Mexico and doesn't return, leading Rambo to go find the only family he's got left, and to bring out the killing machine that lives within him.

The initial reviews of this film are more ridiculous than a runway outfit. They say this film promotes a republican's agenda of border security. Well I'm gonna say it out loud, libs - The cartel and a lot of Mexican gangs are exactly as they are portrayed in the films. They have done worse things than what Rambo does to them in the films, because Rambo is about killing his enemies quickly, whereas the cartel wants their victims to suffer and they want to scare anyone from stopping them.

This movie isn't meant to push a political agenda. it's meant to send our favorite mentally unstable Vietnam veteran on his way. Sly rocks the role even as an old man and i'm glad he's doing so. As sad as it is to see one of my favorite film series end with the original actor still in the role, It's great to see it end on such a good note.
