RAMBO IV - What am I expecting from it
Johan Rambo, The guy who has always been at the top of my fictional heroes list is BACK.
Jason Bourne comes a close second, but the silent grunts, the pain in the eyes of Rambo speak more than say the uber cool 'yipiee kay ye ye mothefucker' uttering John Mclane or the suave Bond…James Bond.
I don’t remember how many times i have seen The Rambo trilogy, but i always thought that sly was over with it. With Rocky Balboa returning with a bang, there was hope and Boy, Rambo is BACK..
Bigger, huger and better..Sly's looking huge, seems he can easily rip Arnie's head off.
The critics have always maintained that the Rambo movies are Gory, but we shouldn’t forget here that ‘Rambo’ means 'Violence' in Japanese.
Rambo is all about violence. He aint a human..He’s THE killing machine, one who creates his own missions. Always outnumbered and unaccounted for, he strikes back when you would least expect him to do that.
Soothsayers always say that Rambo movies are dumb action movies, operating on wafer thin plots, but if you are intelligent enough, you can always see each of the Rambo movies having strong political undertones.
The first two Rambo movies had umpteen references to (and based on) Vietnam, showing both sides of the war. The third one had introduced the first world to the atrocious acts at Afghanistan and now the choice of Burma and its struggle couldn’t be better.
When the rest of the world (including our very own 'peace loving' India) has closed its eyes on Burma, its John Rambo who shall turn the spotlights on it.
And although Sly's Ghost direction was very much apparent in each of the Rambo movies, this is the first time he officially directs a Rambo movie. Sly's credentials on film making cannot be questioned, 1976, he beat the likes of martin socrese's taxi driver to take away the best movie award for 'Rocky'.
If you have known John J Rambo, you shouldn’t be looking for a plot, it’s a boatful of carnage you will get instead.
So, my expectations are pretty clear. Character development, sweet story telling, spoon feeding and dreamy shots have never been a forte of Rambo movies.
Who's got the time baby?? Let’s get to the action STRAIGHT AWAY!!
The original old school badass style...The JOHN J RAMBO style!!
