OK Here is the premise. After spending 20 years in Thailand catching snakes and pounding red hot metal on an anvil and making arrows and such, John Rambo is contacted by a group of pesky missionaries. It seems they want to go "up river" from Thailand to Burma. Ummmmm Sly? You may want to check your map. Its called Myanmar now.

This is hardly Oscar material. I wouldn't characterize it as a fast paced thrill ride, either. It is above average action adventure with a body count and plenty of death and distruction. All in all, worth a trip to the video store, but I am glad I passed on it at the theatre. (sigh) It's sad to see action heroes getting old. One of the missionaries actually lectures him about family, home and hearth and in the final scene of the movie, we see Sly looking wistfully at the mailbox at the end of his father's driveway in someplace rural America. It ends with him walking purposely up the driveway.
