EVERYONE HAS ONE MORE FIGHT IN THEM.
When John Rambo’s (Sylvester Stallone) niece (Yvette Monreal) goes to Mexico looking for her father, she ends up in the hands of a cartel, provoking Rambo’s fury.
Just like First Blood (1982), the fifth chapter in the series is styled like a Western and stays true to the history of its lead character; Rambo’s obsession with building tunnels under his ranch obviously echoes his Vietnam War experiences.
Gaping logical holes in the script; grotesquely (and sometimes comically) violent, with a finale that truly channels Rambo’s pent-up anger.
