Now, you knew I’d have to see this. Not simply because I derived such guiltless pleasure from the first three, but because David Morrell (the creator of the character) told me it’s well worth a look. It takes place in Burma (I can’t call it Myanmar) and has gained a smattering of political correctness (imagine that) from the recent events – the way the real-life monsters in charge there handled the post-cyclone relief is in perfect tune with the atrocities of the government forces in the film. (In fact, the film is banned there.) Stallone co-wrote and directed. It’s got its share of implausibilities and impossibilities, but it works perfectly as a coda to the Rambo canon. Be warned: It’s bloody.
