Some of you reviewers now a days expect to much. Good solid movie.
29 April 2011
I'm going to keep this short. I don't ever review movies on here I just check the site for reviews and usually if 90% of the people who write bad reviews on a flick then I watch it and 90% of the time enjoy it. I haven't seen a well written review in months.

This is a great cop flick. Yes it's a good cop / corrupt cop flick but it didn't steal any ideas and had a solid cast. The kid from Southland (tv) was very good and believable and Liotta while not in his Goodfellas best of parts was still very believable.

The plot was OK not great and maybe you could guess something but heck you can guess a lot of things now in flicks they all steal the same cliché's. There were some cool moments in this movie. The ending was solid too. The 1st movie was just as expectable in certain parts too. I loved the Keanu one too but I didn't watch this 2nd one expecting him to make an appearance. This isn't Beverly Hills Cop.

To many people expect to much out of small budget direct to DVD flicks. You're asking for to much. If I saw this in the $5 box at Walmart I'd buy it. If you like Southland, The Shield, Law and Order or other cop shows check this out it's worth the watch.

And stop comparing it to the Keanu Reeves version. It wasn't supposed to be a conclusion or part of trilogy it was just the same name in a different city. I wish people would criticize crap like Fast and Furious 5 for being predictable or having the same name but nope...

Check this out it's a good flick.

Rambo (2008)
1/10
Is this what it's come down to? That movie Idiocracy is coming true.
1 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
1. this movie is only 1 hr and 20mins long. finding nemo was longer. lol?

2. there is no plot whatsoever.

3. Proof of life - That's is a hostage / mercenary movie . Rambo 4000 was a direct ripoff of that,hostel and the unit all put together.

4. can someone fill me in on the date the US military started using small nukes in claymores? that scene was worse then when he carried 2 m60's in each hand. there was a mushroom cloud for god sakes!

5. I can't believe none of the mercenary's died. figured Stallone would take all the glory.

6. maybe i'm old or just more mature but was there a need that every 2 minutes someone either had to explode, get raped, burn alive or worse?

7. i added it up. the total time of Slys spoken words was 22 mins. guess they were worried we'd confuse the accent with rocky.

8. anyone that thinks this movie will somehow spread light on the Burma problems and help is too much like rocky and has been hit the head way to much

9. if you're under 30 and have no problem with movies where a cop shoots 18 rounds out of a six shooter you will like this film. if you like at least 50% accuracy and realism you won't.

10. Rambo originals were unrealistic yes, but they served a purpose for the cold war antics some of lived through. if you're under 24 i don't expect you to understand why this movie cant compare.

11. i wont ruin the end with Rambo and the boss but i will say, you're kidding me? I've fought tougher boss battles in Super Mario Bros.

anyways, yes this movie stunk in my honest opinion. i know some of you won't agree but thats why Rambo fought in nam. so i could say my opinion.

listen the movie is horribly violent and unfortunately heads exploding, zombies and robots/monster cgi is what rules the screens these days but if anyone thinks this movie is worth the credit i keep seeing, then you my friend are in the 12 to 18 age group and therefore shouldn't be watching it anyways.

Last Rocky - inspiring and nicely done Last Rambo - tiring and puts Sly back in the gutter of fame
