Film ThreatAlex SavelievSep 27, 2019
The film’s no-nonsense approach is a neat tribute to 1980’s action flicks of yore, where badass heroes said and did badass things. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranSep 19, 2019
While part of the film offers the expected, unsparingly violent action tropes typical of the series, there’s another aspect to the story, a surprisingly brooding examination of a warrior in winter, a dark story of a berserker who can’t let go, that’s in its own way bleaker and more despairing than we may be expecting.

Rambo: Last Blood features what’s easily the most violent movie scene of the year. It’s awesome. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskySep 20, 2019
The sequence is Last Blood’s pièce de résistance, and perhaps the only compelling reason the movie has to exist. But it’s also pure, relentless, grimacing punishment at the end of a joyless film, choreographed like a ritual sacrifice. Rambo has always been a monster, but in his old age, he has become something even worse: no fun. Read full review

Quick as it is, though, you have time to wonder how these Mexican assassins can watch their comrades getting skewered, dismembered, and eviscerated by Rambo’s traps and not think, Maybe we should pull out and rethink this assault. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennySep 19, 2019
While the killings (replete with beheadings, dismemberments and more) are zestfully depicted — the director Adrian Grunberg has a way with pace and bloody impact to be sure — the picture overall is rote, mechanical. Read full review

Total FilmJames MottramSep 19, 2019
There’s still a thrill seeing Stallone dig out a classic character for one last rumble, but this is formulaic action fare. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerSep 19, 2019
As a last hurrah for a once great action icon, Rambo: Last Blood is a damp squib. Put your headbands at half mast and remember him from his glory days. Read full review
