Review of First Blood (1982) by Bruce Mccabe for Boston Globe — 21 Jan 2000
Director Ted Kotcheff has all sorts of trouble with this mess, aside from credibility. Supposedly, the real villain here is society itself, which invented a debacle like Vietnam and must now deal with its lingering tragedies.
But First Blood cops out completely on that one, not even trying to find a solution to Stallone's problems.
