"... killing's as easy as breathing..."Background: 10 years after Rambo III and a staggering 26 years since First Blood, Sylvester Stallone will return as the Vietnam vet and super-soldier, who became an icon of 80s action cinema. Sly's hoping to achieve the same success he had with Rocky Balboa last year -- by going back-to-basics with the concept, refusing to dilute the content, and accepting the ravages of age on his character. Will it work again?
Review: The trailer is a sanitized version of the red-band trailer that stunned the internet community a few months back, with its graphic depictions of violence (throat rips, neck snaps, head exploding from gunfire, etc.) It all looks suitably grim, sweat and violent, with a no-nonsense attitude and tangible atmosphere. Of course, it had the whiff of straight-to-video about it, but it's commendably straight-forward about its intentions.
Prediction: I think it's very likely Rambo will succeed in a similar way to Rocky Balboa. In many ways, Balboa was the trickier film to get right -- as the original is a bonafide classic. Rambo just needs to blow shit up 80s-style and it'll please the old fans, and probably make some new fans along the way.
