Rambo (Sylvester Stallone “Demolition Man”, “First Blood”) returns to kill a ton more evildoers in “Last Blood”. This is a seriously dark and violent movie (the violence is just as graphic as it was in the fourth entry) but it still manages to be ridiculous and entertaining. It’s not exactly a good movie by conventional standards but I had a fun time watching it.

In “Last Blood”, an ageing Rambo now lives on a farm helping an old woman and her granddaughter (Yvette Monreal). The granddaughter wants to know why her father left her years ago and crosses the border into Mexico to find out. She is then kidnapped by human traffickers and Rambo must use all of his military skills if he is to rescue her.

Sylvester Stallone is looking really old here yet he’s still far more convincing as an action star than Liam Neeson in the “Taken” films. Stallone has decided to get even more creative with the violence and so expect to see Rambo kill people in the most brutal ways imaginable. He also remembers to have a few tender and emotional moments for the character. The villains are not massively memorable but they are certainly evil enough to warrant being on the receiving end of Rambo’s wrath.

This movie is incredibly bloodthirsty and shows the disturbing nature of human trafficking. However, it’s also a film where Rambo goes full “Mortal Kombat” and tears a guy’s heart out. The movie actually feels a lot more like “Taken” and “Man On Fire” than a “Rambo” movie but it’s nice to see him not just recycle the same formula from his earlier films. This is a movie that a lot of people are going to hate and are going to find it mind-numbing but I had a good time with it.
