Review of Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) by Lorenz R — 25 Aug 2013
"What you choose to call hell, he calls home." Rambo: First Blood Part II is one of most iconic action films of the '80s. Vietnam vet John Rambo is offered a presidential pardon in exchange for going on a covert mission to recon a possible POW camp in Vietnam.
The script by Sylvester Stallone and James Cameron is surprisingly thoughtful for an action film, especially in addressing topical issues such as missing Vietnam POWs and the failed reintegration of Vietnam vets.
The action sequences are also especially impressive, and add a lot of excitement and energy to the film. Incredibly entertaining and powerful, Rambo: First Blood Part II redefined the '80s action hero.
