RAMBO (2008)

See Your Review

As for a Burmese,I don't think twice to spend my precious 1hr & 33 mins to watch Rambo IV.This is the first Rambo Movie without Richard Crenna,& the first one that syl didn't shown off his 6 packs or 8 packs.& also the shortest one.

The Movie opens with some footages that are happening in Burma,truth & scary ones.Then the life condition of our old school,Rambo,how he is struggling to forget the past & starts a new one at the Thailand border.Then A group of Christian human rights missionaries asked Rambo to help them breaching into Burmese border.Their mission is to help the Karen tribes who are always being brutally tortured by the government soldiers.

After reaching the Karen village,it had been stormed by the soldiers who just want to do nothing but throwing bombs into the fields & forcing the prisoners to run through again & again until the bodies blown off.The story then continues in old fashioned rescuing style.Some....againts hundreds.Then Rambo saved the day.

The movie itself is physically & psychologically brutal starting from the opening scene to the last non stop battle scene.It got heads chopped off,guts comes off,legs blown off,& some other things.The battle scenes seems so shaky,noisy & blood overflown & the Movie seems super different from the previous Rambos.In this movie he shot about total 6 or 7 arrows,uses a pistol,cut off one head,ripped off a soldier's throat,blown up the WWII bomb,then happily spent the last show down by standing on the military truck & shooting the machine gun until the grounds turns red.Then end the show by stabbing the sadistic Major.Maybe he just realized that half-naked M60 carrier heroes never exist anymore.

There are also some problems with the burmese language,it really sounds childish & misleading.In the scenes when the burmese Major beating up the mercenaries,he was shouting"Why you guys want to involve in our country matter?",but they never showed up the subtitle.It seems like he was screaming for information.

When the Writer,Director,Producer,& Actor became a one big guy,you'll get Rambo IV.
