Since helping the mujahedeen rid Afghanistan of the Russians, John Rambo (Stallone) has been living a quiet life in northern Thailand, trapping poisonous snakes to sell to local entertainers. But when a group of human rights missionaries pleads with him to ferry them upstream to Burma to re-supply the oppressed Karen tribe, Rambo reluctantly agrees. A few weeks later however, word filters through that the missionaries have been taken hostage by the Burmese military, who are using them as pawns in their local war. Knowing the hostages have no other hope of rescue, Rambo sets out into the heart of the jungle on a one-man mission to hell and back.

Our review

"Excessive, unsettling and down-right brutal, bloody violence aside, this is an '80's action movie made two decades late, where story, coherent dialogue and politics take a back seat whilst a massive gun does the driving. So a perfect Friday night, post-pub movie for men then."
