Video review: Rambo 4

"Heroes Never Die....They Just Reload."
Another super blockbuster movie has just came to town(I believe that's already months). Yeah, a movie with intense gunfighting and war by Sylvester Stallone.

"The Hero of All Time Is Coming Back to Kick Some Ass"
This is why Rambo 4 is so famous. Well, this story starts by John Rambo recruited by missionaries to protect them during a humanitarian aid effort on behalf of the persecuted Karen people of Burma.

What I see from this movie is some people without sanity, you know...If a country have rebels, or communist, the government should use laws against them, like my country(Malaysia, duh): ISA(Internal Security Act), but not use up a whole battalion of army to just kill them(I mean the villagers that were suspected to be rebels). You see? They kill their own country people without mercy, will you do that if you're one of the soldiers? Plus, the other one that lose their sanity is the missionaries, they are brave enough to go to a warzone without considering the fuckin' soldiers....and without considering that they will stuck in this civil war(Burmese Soldiers VS Karen Freedom Fighters, a.k.a rebels) that bullets and bombs will kill them anytime(without mercy too...even if they belong to the Red Cross Association.)

So, lets continue with the story. Then, the missionaries are taken prisoners by the Burmese soldiers because they(the missionaries) were there and aid them with meds and tell some story in the Bible. Now, John Rambo was given a new task: rescue the missionaries from the Burmese soldiers, and that is a almost "mission impossible".

Well, the show goes on with the intense gunfighting, nice. By the way, this movie contain one phrase that I love very much, "Live for nothing, or die for something", heh, sound cool. But I feel "Live for something, or die for nothing is better". Somehow, I feel a little dissapointed to myself because I always tought the Rambo series was full of explosions, instead of gunfighting, hmm, like a Micheal Bay movie haha. Nevertheless, it is still a mind blowing and fast paced intensed action movie. Two thumbs up!!!
