I never expected another Rambo film especially from a sexagenarian Sylvester Stallone. But having grown up watching Rambo stuff - from the First Blood movies to video games and cartoons, this new installment was just too tempting to pass up.
It did not disappoint. It depicts heavy graphic violence reminiscnent of recent war movies like Black Hawk Down. There's literally blood and gore everywhere. Basically, it's your typical guy action movie.
Oh yeah, aside from John Rambo himself, there's another cult hero who deserves to be mentioned. He's a mercenary who goes by the name of "School Boy". He gets quite a bit of air time blowing people up with his Barrett 50-caliber sniper rifle. These babies shoot six-inch bullets at a whopping 10,000 foot pounds of energy (or 14 kilojoules).
The .50 caliber round (leftmost) compared to other ammunition. In
contrast, the standard M16 carbine round (5.56 mm) is second from right.
