Rambo: Last Blood

"Between Stallone mumbling stuff like “I’m full of rage” and “Death is coming” in a perennially granite scowl, sh-t gets ridiculously barbaric, with a sweaty abundance of hammer bludgeonings, exploding heads and booby-trap maimings that should keep anyone with an appetite for bloodthirsty action satiated until the next John Wick rolls around."

"... a perfectly enjoyable, if oddly put-together, action flick with a decent kill count but it doesn't feel like the conclusive end of an established character's arc."

"Dirty Harry got a more dignified farewell in The Dead Pool, and that movie featured a chase involving a toy car."

"It's horrible, gut-wrenching carnage to witness, and yet, it's been calibrated to elicit whoops and cheers from fans..."

"[A] massively enlarged prostate of a film..."

"The picture overall is rote, mechanical."

"As a last hurrah for a once great action icon, Rambo: Last Blood is a damp squib. Put your headbands at half mast and remember him from his glory days."

"As it is, this film is a lazy mess with no real reason to exist."

"[A] surprisingly brooding examination of a warrior in winter, a dark story of a berserker who can't let go, that's in its own way bleaker and more despairing than we may be expecting."
