In Thailand, ex-Green Beret John James Rambo joins a group of mercenaries to venture into war-torn neighboring Myanmar to rescue a group of Christian aid workers who have been kidnapped by a ruthless local infantry unit.
What critics thought
DivisiveCritics were sharply divided on the fourth Rambo: those who found the brutal depictions of civil-war atrocities purposeful and Stallone's weathered performance quietly effective were outnumbered by those who felt the relentless carnage crossed from action filmmaking into something closer to exploitation. Audience reaction was considerably warmer than the critical consensus, suggesting the film landed harder with Rambo's core fanbase than with reviewers.
“Mr. Stallone is smart enough—or maybe dumb enough, though I tend to think not—to present the mythic dimensions of the character without apology or irony. His face looks like a misshapen chunk of granite, and his acting is only slightly more expressive, but the man gets the job done. Welcome back.”
A.O. Scott·The New York Times
“Stallone invests the role with a realistic acceptance of the aging process, and with traces reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart in 1951's The African Queen and Clint Eastwood in 1992's Unforgiven—to say nothing of the influences that the original First Blood had absorbed from Marlon Brando in 1953's The Wild One and Tom Laughlin in 1971's Billy Jack.”
