If you're looking for a great action flick the next time you log into your movie download service, give Rambo a try. You know, Rambo, Rambo Part Four. The titles get confusing. First Blood, First Blood Part 2: Rambo, Rambo 3, and then just Rambo. Rambo is the one you want to watch. Well... They all at least have their moments, but Rambo is the one you want to watch for pure, hardcore action.
Rambo 2 and 3 were sort of these bloated, excessive Hollywood action flicks, which didn't do justice to the low key original. This was their undoing, as they became complicated and confusing, rather than passionate, true and exciting. Rambo 4 is much simpler, more straightforward, and much more pure. It's also just plain a much better film.
The best of the series is still First Blood. First Blood was a very human, real movie, focusing on the disillusionment of the Vietnam Veterans upon returning home from the war. The second and third movies in the series then were sort of insults to the original. While Rambo is certainly an action movie, it also fits some social commentary into the proceedings.
The film takes place in Burma, a place that is, in real life, right now, in the middle of a very violent civil war. Stallone wanted to use his position as a Hollywood star to turn attention towards a real, pressing issue, and he chose Burma. In fact, he shot right outside of the real Burma and was given death threats by the very same army that he vilifies in the film.
The movie took a courageous effort to film, and it feels authentic. It's also explosively violent in a way that is very real. It really drives home the suffering of the Burmese people, and because this is a real conflict, the movie feels much more socially responsible than the second and third films in the series. The end result is a movie that is both enthralling and conscientious.
Rambo does kill hundreds upon hundreds of badguys, so it's not entirely realistic, but the movie never feels false in how it portrays the way this really happens, what it does to everyone involved. As Stallone says in the trailers "When you're pushed, killin's as easy as breathin'". Yes, but for the characters who have never killed before, and who are now pushed, it's not something that weighs easily on their souls. The movie never feels like a cartoon.
The film develops in a very pure structure. It's really just action. It feels mythical, Biblical in its scale and scope, and it really drives home the very concept upon which it is founded, that being that war is ugly, but that you can't just sit down and let the enemy have their way with your country. When it comes time to fight, you need to fight.
Stallone is really on the comeback trail. He came out with Rocky Balboa which put him back on top after a series of flops, and soon we'll have The Expendables, a classic Dirty Dozen style action flick. It seems that all it took was for him to remember what he was really good at: Manly movies with a real heart and soul. Hopefully he'll stay on top this time.
