Review of Rambo: Last Blood (2019) by Crankyerma — 20 Sep 2019

Solid action picture. The pacing is more akin to a 1970's revenge flick. The first two acts of the film are essentially a set-up for the final one. This is not a wall to wall action picture. However, the final act is jawdropping.

Patience is required but it is rewarded many times over. The critics whine about the film being xenoophobic because Rambo is a white guy who goes to war with a Mexican human trafficking cartel. It's disingenuous postmodernist criticism.

Don't listen to them. If it were Sam Jackson or Benicio Del Toro going after the Russian or Irish mob, they wouldn't have any gripes. Bad guys are bad guys.
