Oddly, that is actually more believable than some of the stuff in the later Rambo movies.

Holy Christ! I just got home from watching this; if you haven't seen it yet, GO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

This film is nothing but story and extremely realistic graphic violence; no absurd action sequences, no greased-up shirtless Stallone, just pure justified murdering of dirtbags. And, Rambo doesn't just kill everything by himself; the setup is entirely realistic.

I sure hope this is released in the UK and Europe. No one is prepared for this film. See it.

Well, I've seen Rocky Balboa, and HGH or not - it's better Stallone keep his shirt on anymore.

So he isn't gunning down dozens of people, carrying a HMG in each hand?

Does that even count as a Rambo film if it's not ridiculously over the top? :P
