In Cinemas: Rambo: Last Blood

Sylvester Stallone is the last great star of the silent movie era. That's because he doesn't open his mouth when he speaks. You don't understand anything. Stallone is a physical actor, one who always threw himself fearlessly into the action sequences. Has he ever seriously hurt himself? Now he tries a second time to revive his Rambo (the second time after 2008). Can he offer his character a real environment this time or just a comic-like scenario again? Rambo lives the simple life. Quietly on a ranch, somewhere in Arizona. He is fully attuned to his adoptive family, loves his adoptive granddaughter and reflects on his life on the terrace in the rocking chair. What might such a Rambo think of? Maybe about how he fought the Russians with the Taliban in the third part, i.e. how he is a founding member of the Taliban? He confesses to his adopted granddaughter Gabrielle (Yvette Monreal), who is college-aged, that he is still struggling with his inner anger. That's why he dug a sophisticated tunnel system under the porch. As a child, I always appreciated Rambo's skills the most: his effective traps in the forest from pointed branches. Gabrielle, for her part, tells Rambo that she found her long lost father in Mexico. She wants to go to him and ask why he just left her years ago? Only nine minutes after crossing the border, she is caught by traffickers. From the infamous Martinez gang. Rambo attacks and is almost beaten to death. Fortunately, Carmen (Paz Vega) discovers him in a side street. Will Rambo save Gabrielle? And will he still use his great tunnels? Will he use sawed-off shotguns and knives? And even the sound of The Doors? Will he once again undermine the Geneva Conventions? In short; Rambo: Last Blood is a pretty bad movie. Just like all the Rambo decals from the 80s, produced by Cannon with various musclemen. Basically, there is no plot or dialogue at all that could be from the 80s: "I want them to know that death is coming" And: Rambo: Last Blood is exaggeratedly bloody. As bloody as a good old B-movie. Maybe it's still time for Rambo to get movies as good as Stallone's "Rocky" character in "Creed"? Even though this Rambo is a respectable B-movie, he pays too little respect to the character who made Stallone Hollywood's biggest star. One more please! Or else simply a "Cobra II" or an "Over The Top II".
