Entertainment Weekly has psted their review of "Rambo." Pretty short, but they do give it better than average marks, which does surprise me. Haven't had a chance to see it yet (can't get away!)
This closing statement does give a little bit of hope that the old Rambo's not dead yet....
The brutality, tough enough to take, would be intolerable if Stallone didn't toss the movie like a cant-clearing grenade at notions of stay-the-course righteousness (not to mention at the sermonizing of more faith-based agonies staged by Mel Gibson). Rambo teaches that fighting sucks, good intentions can be futile, and coalitions of the willing are a charade: A man's got to do what a man's got to do. Sometimes that means tying on the old bandanna to hack one's way out of the Hollywood jungle so disorienting to aging action stars.
