As the concept of retiring gracefully passes Stallone by, this final roll of the dice for his Rambo franchise moves into post-Taken territory as a serviceable but generic (and somewhat mean-spirited) actioner. Stallone allegedly scaled back on the scale of action to make the film more personal and character-driven, which may explain how small the movie feels. This is a bloody film with a high disposable body-count, but this twilight hurrah of a pop-culture character is ultimately rather mechanical and neither particularly interesting nor necessary.
