Rambo (2008) - Movie Review & Franchise Deep Dive

The "gore" the merrier? Not for John Rambo.
The fourth movie in the "First Blood" film franchise is by far the bloodiest of the series so far, which could have led some critics to dismiss it as a cheap addition to the "horror porn" trend that was popular at the time. Big mistake!
Here's why director Sylvester Stallone's heavy use of onscreen violence was actually a smart and strategic way to return this character to his roots, while also saying something profound about the Rambo films that preceded this 20-years-later sequel.
