Lots of violence, some gore, hot 69 with his wife (nudity included), but the story got kind of lame at the end. I liked it more when his background was a mystery, once you find out the truth it kind of starts dragging.

Worth a rental, absolutely. Nothing more, however. There are some really good parts, but there are some lines that are almost laughable.

There's a 69 sex scene (not that graphic but still notable), a really hot angry sex scene (not rape, she is pissed at him -- do it on the stairs!), full frontal nudity of the female lead, and top that off with some great violent deaths, and you have the makings of a good flick. Not Oscar material by any means, but it's a decent way to spend two hours.

Exactly. Some times I was watching it and got really into it (violent scenes, etc.) and then some things were WTF? worthy.

Sorry to bump an old thread.
I just watched this last night. I thought it was great. I was drunk though...

She's not a natural blonde :)

:thumbsup:

You would think if you keep shooting everyone who comes to bother you, the cops would take you away.

Also Rambo's son has a dormant super-fighter gene which springs to life one day as he single-handedly trounces the biggest jock in school and his lackey while never actually getting into a fight in his life before that moment.

I thought it was excellent. An interesting commentary on the way we perceive violence.
