I hope that question was rhetorical and not directed at me.

Why you? You posted about appalled ‘Rambo creator’.

Just watched it and I thought it was very good. Definitely on par with the first one.

The drug and people trafficking cartels in Mexico are the dregs of humanity.

I won’t say more because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Rambo movies were the first time I knew that all one had to do is jump up in the air just before an 81mm mortar shell burst at one’s feet in order to avoid being shredded.

One of my all-time favorite movies.

How do you spell - Narco State ?-— MEXICO !!!

After seeing the movie—I wonder why anyone would want to ever visit Mexico. It is a failed state. Communism there might be an improvement.

It is a Rambo movie and a good one. Yes, it is violent, but nothing like the countless over the top horror movie violence that movie critics praise, so why the double standard? Possibly because this portrays real life violence with real life problems at the border and in Mexico with drugs, human trafficking, open borders, lawless Mexican towns, and criminals crossing the border into America unchecked?

This movie tells a fitting story to the Rambo character attempting to come home and live a normal life with PTSD and having real life problems open up old wounds. But hey, this is Rambo and as often as he runs from violence, when it is forced upon him, there is no mercy to the enemy. In this case ruthless sub human Mexican cartel gang members that kill his niece.

Also, the fact that Rambo first uses a Winchester Model 92, than an M1 Garand, pump shotgun, long before he starts using an H-bar rifle. So much for those evil black rifles. Plus blasting the enemy in his home alone movie version of Rambo built Vietnam tunnels with the Doors "Five to One" blaring at them as the criminal illegals are eliminated. What is not to like?

Great job Stallone.

I just saw the movie, and it wasn’t bad. My family used to live in El Paso, Texas for many years, and the stuff that a lot of the Mexican cartels do in the movie is pretty accurate to life. They are the scum bags of the earth. If anybody thinks this kind of stuff doesn’t go on, they’re very naïve or just plain stupid.
