It almost has to be the last blood because there's no more blood left.
Tom Glasson, Concrete Playground
A film that aspires to be Logan, yet lands somewhere closer to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
In 2019's hypersensitive cultural environment, the depiction of murderous Mexican crime bosses and their cowering sex slaves encountering a literal white savior doesn't go down so easy.
If you've come for thoughtfulness, tragedy, character, wit, and a political statement on the effects of war - in short, if you've come for anything that was in the original First Blood - then perhaps you'd find solace in a different theater.
Trump-era Rambo is essentially a human border wall keeping America safe from Mexican rapists and murderers. Absolutely deranged, a must-see.
Rambo: Last Blood doesn't just feel dated and quite tone-deaf but also stuck in an era that's long gone with no need for nostalgia to remind us of it.
It's less a true 'Rambo' movie and more a generic (and small-scale) 'Taken' knock-off with John Rambo arbitrarily thrown into the mix.
I didn't find the hardcore violence disturbing per se, but rather jarring in the way it takes on an almost comic book tone after the more elegiac effect the movie was striving for.
