The best of the Rambo films, written by Stallone and James Cameron (The Terminator), is a fine action film that sees ex-Green Beret John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) pulled from prison to execute a dangerous mission to determine whether American POWs are still being held by the Vietnamese. Both Stallone and Richard Crenna, as Rambo's old commanding officer, are more comfortable in their roles, and Julia Nickson adds an attractive dash of emotional contrast to the grim proceedings. Nice to see the Russians get involved, as well. Never believable, but works anyway up until a final aerial battle that stretches credulity too far.
