Rambo 4, Rambo, John Rambo, whatever the actual title of the film is, it’s the fourth film in the series. If you want a great action film, something that’s almost Biblical in scale, put it on your queue the next time you sign into your movie download service. The film really delivers on every possible level you could ask an action film to deliver on. It really is one of Stallone’s best, and the second best of the Rambo series.

The movie is incredibly simple and straightforward. The second and third films in the series were a little too… Ambitious in terms of storytelling. The end result was that they felt bloated, confusing and excessive. Rambo on the other hand is lean, mean, and tough. It’s gritty, raw, and it feels much more real than the two films that preceded it.

The best of the series is still First Blood. First Blood was a very human, real movie, focusing on the disillusionment of the Vietnam Veterans upon returning home from the war. The second and third movies in the series then were sort of insults to the original. While Rambo is certainly an action movie, it also fits some social commentary into the proceedings.

The film takes place in Burma, a place that is, in real life, right now, in the middle of a very violent civil war. Stallone wanted to use his position as a Hollywood star to turn attention towards a real, pressing issue, and he chose Burma. In fact, he shot right outside of the real Burma and was given death threats by the very same army that he vilifies in the film.

The movie took courage to create, having been filmed on the outskirts of Burma. Stallone received death threats from the very same militants he vilifies in the film. The end result is that the film actually did succeed in turning international attention towards the problems being faced by the people of Burma.

The way the action is filmed is interesting. Rambo kills hundreds of bad guys, but it’s all shot in a sort of a realistic style that really sets it apart from the usual excess of action films. It feels, if not quite real, at least real enough that it doesn’t feel cartoony, it doesn’t trivialize violence, it actually deals with it head on.

The film develops in a very pure structure. It’s really just action. It feels mythical, Biblical in its scale and scope, and it really drives home the very concept upon which it is founded, that being that war is ugly, but that you can’t just sit down and let the enemy have their way with your country. When it comes time to fight, you need to fight.

Stallone is really on the comeback trail. He came out with Rocky Balboa which put him back on top after a series of flops, and soon we’ll have The Expendables, a classic Dirty Dozen style action flick. It seems that all it took was for him to remember what he was really good at: Manly movies with a real heart and soul. Hopefully he’ll stay on top this time.

You should list the main characters first and the secondary characters last and then assign them a function.

These days, as MP3 players gain the recognition they deserve, more and more people are purchasing music online.
