It's easy to forget that this Spartan, violent film, which begat the Rambo series, was such a big hit in 1982 because it was a good movie. Green Beret vet John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into the wrong small town to find a fellow 'Nam buddy and gets the living heck kicked out of him by the local law enforcement (led by Brian Dennehy). The vet strikes back the only way he knows how, leading to a visceral, if unrealistic, flight and fight through the local mountains. Based on the 1972 novel by David Morrell, this film saved Stallone's then-foundering career and the Rambo character became the inspiration for countless political cartoons. But this film is Deliverance without the moral ambiguity. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - When in doubt, kill
Rambo is a classic action flick, flawlessly simple yet swarming with underlying themes that push it to the edge. The story of a wandering Vietnam vet who walks into a small, quiet town in Washington in search of his last remaining friend never reaches a happy ending. Upon discovering that his last buddy has died of cancer, John Rambo heads into town trying to find a place to eat and collect his thoughts but instead he gets picked up by the sheriff and thrown into jail for vagrancy.

Rating:  - The Classic Rambo Action Film!!!
The original is always the best! No one could have done it better than Stallone. Rambo comes to a small quiet town looking for his friend. After he finds out his friend has died, he goes looking for a place to eat, but the sheriff for some reason, doesn't like him. After Rambo escapes custody, he starts his one-man war against the town's police. It has the classic look of the 1980's. If you love action, you'll love FIRST BLOOD!!!

Rating: - 1st Blood
I still love and enjoy this movie everytime I watch it. Thanks to blu ray technology, it got so much better. Big improvement with the picture quality and sound. A great addition to your movie library. I recommend it. Enjoy!
Rating: - Involving survivalist flick
Although the next two Rambo movies get progressively sillier, this is a good movie that has a surprisingly moving finale.
Apart from the bull headed attitudes of the local cops, we see a veteran who is a genuine guy. And we see him hurting. The final scenes, after tremendous destruction and skills with violence, are thought provoking and emotional.
A surprisingly thoughtful movie.
