John Rambo takes on the Saffron Revolution in what is arguably the darkest entry in the RAMBO series yet. He now lives in Thailand, catching snakes and providing boat rides for little money. Life is rather boring until a group of American missionaries hire him to provide transport up the Salween River into Burma to provide humanitarian aid to a village in need. Unfortunately, the Burmese junta massacres the village and takes the missionaries prisoner. Now it is up to Rambo to lead a team of mercenaries on a rescue mission in which the body count here is probably the same amount as all three previous movies combined. However, twenty years has passed since the Reagan/Bush era in which the first three RAMBO movies existed. RAMBO’s violence is not of the fun “shoot ‘em up for Ol’ Glory” variety; it is cold, brutal, and more realistic. RAMBO will exceed expectations. Fans will love this dark, nihilistic direction.
