Sylvester Stallone stars as Nam-vet Green Beret John Rambo, a man of few words. He's arrested in Hope, Oregon, for vagrancy but escapes and flees into the woods. The determined Sheriff, Teasle pulls together a posse of moronic deputies and goes after him. Rambo has flashbacks from Nam and is pushed further and further over the edge. Soon the whole police force and The National Guard is trying to hunt him down. But surprise, surprise John Rambo is a resilient motherfucker and before long the hunted will become the hunter.

Don't take this movie apart or it'll soon resemble a swiss cheese, but it's good clean fun with a lot of action and dumb dialogue. Very enjoyable if your hungover, so gentlemen: start your drinking!

Your e-mail:

Story: 7/10 - A bit unbelievable, but as a non-brainer action movie it is superior. Has little in common with it's two extremely stupid sequels.

Acting: 4/10 - Brian Dennehy is the only one with a shred of acting talent. Richard Crenna is so lousy in this film that you almost forget to be annoyed by Sly.

Violence: 5/10 - A wooden stake through the legs and some shootouts, and of course the obligatory Nam torture flashback sequence.

Nudity: 0/10 - Hope, Oregon is obviously a women free zone, but luckily Sly is decent enough to show us his butt (lovely Sly, just lovely!).

Coolness: 5/10 - 200 cops against one man-killing machine, and he wins (almost!). See the most incompetent cops in the world make total asses out of themselves, very cool!.

Skid-marks: 8/10 - Cars, trucks, helicopters and motor bikes! Good old Ted doesn't miss a thing.
