Sometimes, you dont need five intertwining story lines.
(Stallones scary-big forearms are mystery enough.)
Rambos thousand-yard stare:Thats what one of the mercenaries on Rambos team calls it.

And after four films, I still love it.
You know the bad guys are gonna get it.
And that they deserve it.
Its like watching a wide receiver take a vicious hit in HD.
This movie brings families together:Or, at least mine.
Ive mentioned before that Stallone is a Bierly favorite.
We went to brunch, then to a 1:30 p.m. matinee.
As people entered the theater, my father judged whether they were realRambofans, or just there with one.
When a bunch of loud twentysomething men came in chanting Rambo!
Rambo!, I leaned over and told my dad, Those are our people.
Upon exiting the theater, we drove to get ice cream.
It was now the perfect day.
(Dont ask.)
Clearly, the answer is Rambo.
He gets the job done.
Who else enjoyed the movie?
