Rambo: Last Blood

It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.

• “The Looney Tunes nature of Rambo’s murder spree tempers much of the script’s ideological offense.”

  Keith Uhlich, Slant Magazine · 75

• “This movie is the product of truly deranged minds. It’s a must-see.”

  Vince Mancini, Uproxx · 67

• “While part of the film offers the expected, unsparingly violent action tropes typical of the series, there’s another aspect to the story, a surprisingly brooding examination of a warrior in winter, a dark story of a berserker who can’t let go, that’s in its own way bleaker and more despairing than we may be expecting.”

  Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 60

• “The film’s no-nonsense approach is a neat tribute to 1980’s action flicks of yore, where badass heroes said and did badass things.”

  Alex Saveliev, Film Threat · 60

• “Rambo: Last Blood features what’s easily the most violent movie scene of the year. It’s awesome.”

  Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post · 50
