It's weird hearing Tarantino's writing with completely different direction, so his humorous dialogue doesn't have quite as much impact. But it's still highly great. I love how they just slowly mosey out of the hotel at the end, fleeing the huge crime scene, easy peasy.. haha. And that cast!! Loved the cast... too good. [/B]
RAMBO LAST BLOOD.
It was...depressing. But I get that. He’s wired to be unhappy, and anything good that’s ever happened to him has only ever served to set him up for failure.
Part 1 he makes it back from ‘Nam, which is good, only to face a country that hated him. Part 2 he meets a woman that ‘gets’ him, and she gets blown away in front of him/he brings POWs back home, but doesn’t come back himself. Part 3 ended on a good note mostly, until part 4 shows us he never got over his demons.
And again, part 4 ends optimistically, until this new flick shows us the peace he’s had since the last movie was just to make what happens to him in this one hurt more.
Like I said, depressing.
But hey other than that, it was some kick ass action and the most gnarly kills of the franchise!
I give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
