Quotes:

Major Pa Tee Tint: [after raiding a village] These boys are now our soldiers! They belong to me now! If you try to get them back your whole village will burn! If you ask the Karen Rebels for help I will cut out your tongues! If you go against me I will feed you your intestines! Hear me, believe me, and fear me!

Just look at the tagline: "Heroes never die........they just reload."

Just watch it, words don't justify it! People didn't believe Sly still had it, but they were so wrong. After the the great performance at Rocky Balboa I expected another great performance for him. But this was even better than I imagined. You don't have to be an Stallone fan to enjoy this movie. If you like action movies, this one is for you. A word of caution though, this isn't for the light hearted, there are some serious violence in this movie. I am gonna say this is one of the best action movies I have seen in a long time. But you don't have to take my word for it, just watch it. It's better than the previous Rambo films. Expcept for about 15 minutes in the middle, the whole film is action packed. You can't possibly be bored. If you hate action movie or if you have something against violence, this isn't for you. But if you are not, than sit back and enjoy the legend that is Rambo for one last time.
