Aussie boy's thoughts
Just as you’d anticipate, the core of the finale of Rambo is violent revenge. Last Blood seems to borrow the concept of Taken, only approaching the themes of sexual slavery and human trafficking in a different style, but still seeking a solid sense of vengeance. In the end, it’s a brutally appealing way to detach from the Rambo movies, and a bloody awesome way, too.
At 73 years of age, Sylvester Stallone surprisingly still manages to provide the ass-kicking protagonist we’ve seen before, only with an older appearance. In a way, it kind of makes him even more iconic and stylish when we witness him committing extremely the brutal revenge he calls: “exactly what it feels like”. His character alone will impress everyone.
Story-wise, it’ll kind of remind people of Liam Neeson’s Taken, with the main issue relating to a character known in John Rambo’s life being kidnapped and sold for sexual purposes. Until the incidents begin to happen and entertain the audience, it’s devoted to getting to know Rambo’s current life and setting us into the plot. It’s actually well-crafted, the vengeful action is insane and there’s a solid antagonist.
