This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really disappointed by the thin as paper script. They were just looking for an excuse for Rambo to kill a bunch of men. They happen to be stupid too.
1) Gang leader likely never does the job himself or will only show up when target is disabled for the kill
2) If first few gang members fall and you see how, you don't continue to pursue target in tunnels only he knows, but smoke / burn him out
3) What happened to the famous tactic of wounding opponent to distract the enemy troops? He should just let them scream...
4) The ending is just rediculous...

For me it would have been better if he hunted them one by one over a longer period of time to really give them time to be scared. First disable their cars and then do his guerrila thing. End by putting the mutilated (but maybe still alive) gang leader with a cross on his cheek on the mexican border with a sign 'Child Murderer' or some setup where he needs to chose between suicide or a life of pain in jail.

To me Rambo didn't feel like much of a hero here. His first action was to walk into a trap like a n00b and then the girl he came to save died anyway.

Rambo isn't supposed to be about feel-good stuff I know, but I still say Stallone should have left it at 3. Learn to quit at your peak. I will just pretend I ever saw this movie.

I want whatever drugs these other users are on. This movie is by far, and I mean by far, the worst Rambo movie. Terribly written, The acting is laughably bad and it takes nearly half of the movie to get anything remotely close to action.I want whatever drugs these other users are on.

This movie is the definition of a straight to Redbox action flick that should be instantly forgotten by everyone. Shame on Stallone for ruining a great character with this trash script.

My vote for 1 of the top 10 worst films of the year. Stallone could have done must better than this . Unbelievable plot, somewhat racist, overly violent (but, hey, it is a Rambo film), and poorly scripted, photographed, and edited. I hopeMy vote for 1 of the top 10 worst films of the year.

I hope that viewers do not judge the early Rambo films by this failure. All that is missing is Stallone saying 'Do we get to win this time?' Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not worth watching.
Lets start off with this , there is no reason what so ever to make or view this film. For a fan of the original Rambo movie this endeavor is just sad and pathetic. I will start with the fact that it contains only cardboard cut outs of caricatures, lets roll the list.
Rambo after years of bad plastic surgery he has become a horse rancher on a ranch that has 3 horses, hardly a sustainable ranch. Abuelita , just that.
The young daughter of a friend or something , any way Rambo raised her supposedly, but she has no self defense or life skills, Rambo I guess would not share that skill set with his step children.But he will dig a giant network of caves in the ranch. Also the female lead or what ever is taught the ultimate lesson and the lesson is do what rambo tells you or you will end up dead in a mexican whore house strung out on smak.
There is a shady 80s chola who is an old pal of the female lead, straight from central casting for 80s chola.
There is also a journalist, que lazy writing for a cut out of a journalist and that is what you get.
And the bad guys, they only lack ponchos and sombreros.
This film a racist tirade that gives way to a portrayal of a serial killer. Do not get me wrong I love a good slasher film and action films are fantastic but this is just dumb and boring and really belongs in a new genre of trash films that are unwatchable.

This movie was very dark and depressing. It has a simple message stated by Rambo: Some people have black hearts, and no one can change the world for the better. If you want to believe that, go right ahead. No one asked for an hour longThis movie was very dark and depressing. It has a simple message stated by Rambo: Some people have black hearts, and no one can change the world for the better. If you want to believe that, go right ahead. No one asked for an hour long "education" on the horrors of human trafficking (I went to the movies to see an action movie. If you want to know about human trafficking, there are plenty of documentaries covering the subject). Only the final action scene was fun. I doubt anyone would want to see this movie twice. A nearly two hour long action movie shouldn't have only one major action scene at the end. You could sleep though the whole movie and just watch the last 30 minutes to get all the fun this movie has. No one needs such a long dreary buildup to the action. It is easily the worst Rambo movie. Expand

A movie seemingly written by 12 year olds for a mentally challenged audience. The acting is bad the plot is pretty much nonexistent.
