Rambo
Last
Blood,
the
final
chapter
of
the
legendary
Rambo
series,
hit
screens
in
India
today
(September
20,
2019),
and
this
gave
Sylvester
Stallone
fans
a
big
reason
to
celebrate.
The
film,
directed
by
Adrian
Grunberg,
has
created
a
fair
deal
of
buzz
amongst
fans
of
action
movies,
which
means
that
the
stakes
are
higher
than
usual.
So,
did
'Sly'
manage
to
deliver
the
goods
one
last
time.
Read
the
Rambo
Last
Blood
review
to
find
out.
Plot
Rambo
Last
Blood
revolves
around
an
aged
John
Rambo,
who
is
forced
to
enter
Mexico
when
his
'daughter'
is
kidnapped
by
a
deadly
cartel
and
made
to
enter
the
flesh
trade.
Screenplay
Rambo
Last
Blood
opens
on
a
relatively
weak
note
as
the
opening
sequence
lacks
the
organic
intensity,
which
is
the
trademark
of
the
Rambo
series.
However,
the
scenes
involving
Rambo
and
his
friend's
daughter
make
up
for
the
slow
start.
Business
picks
up
once
the
action
shifts
to
Mexico
as
things
become
quite
murky.
The
last
20
minutes,
in
particular,
are
likely
to
click
with
Stallone
fans
as
they
are
quite
intense
and
gory.
While
the
excessive
violence
might
put
off
a
certain
section
of
the
audience,
it
is
justified
given
the
fact
that
Rambo
Last
Blood
is
an
actioner.
Performances
Stallone
is
the
heart
and
soul
of
Rambo
Last
Blood,
proving
that
he
'has
still
got
it'.
His
intensity
in
the
action
scenes
is
at
par
with
what
he
had
shown
in
the
previous
films
of
the
Rambo
series.
He
has
also
handled
most
of
the
emotional
scenes
rather
well.
The
supporting
cast,
featuring
names
such
as
Paz
Vega
and
Sergio
Peris-Mencheta,
is
adequate.
Direction
And
Technical
Departments
Adrian
Grunberg
has
done
a
fair
job
of
capturing
the
essence
of
the
Rambo
series.
However,
Rambo
Last
Blood
lacks
the
rawness
that
made
the
earlier
films
click
with
all
and
sundry.
The
cinematography
heightens
the
impact
of
a
few
scenes.
The
editing
is
decent
as
the
film
does
not
drag
too
much.
The
goosebumps-inducing
background
score
helps
the
final
few
sequences
excite
the
'Sly
Army'.
The
other
technical
departments
too
have
been
handled
well.

to
the
Rambo
series.
