As far as I’m concerned,I love this film....it’s crystal clear that First Blood and Sylvester Stallone have hard critics and negative reviews,but it’s fair to point out that they are on tip of the iceberg of our cinema memories.In my case,both are absolutely unforgettable and they make the most relevant aim of making a film,have a nice moment and entertain the watching audience,without a doubt whatsoever.
This action film was directed by Ted Kotcheff in 1982.Yet,I must make clear that not only was the main character Sylvester Stallone,but also co-writter this movie.The facts speak for themselves with this film,despite its mixed criticisms,this film achieved an enourmous success,in its box office and a record of tickets sold in China.First Blood was based on a novel of the same name by David Morrell,ten years before.This film has been,until now,five sequels (all of which were co-written by and starred Stallone) with little success.A huge variety of comics,videogames and animated series are another relevant point.
Seven years later Vietnam War,John Rambo an ex-war comrade of this war,spent a difficult situation after knowing his friend goes through cancer and he is not adapted to a real life.Rambo ends up into a small town in Washington.There,he wanders around this village,but the town’s Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) believes that the best place for Rambo is inside the jail.Yet,He runs away to the forest and he tries to survive out of the civilization.The state police calls to Coronal Trautman,Rambo’s mentor and former commanding officer,in order to help them to capture the Wietnam warrior and he confirms that Rambo is an expert at guerrilla warfare and survival,besides he received the Medal of Honor and he never gives up.
All in all,I highly recommend this great action film - amazingly acted,written and directed,stands the test of the time and it is unanimously deemed a brilliant movie for Sylvester Stallone lovers.
......This time he’s fighting for his life.
