Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

- First rate
Vietnam vet John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) runs afoul of the local constabulary while passing through a small town in Washington state. Abused by a sadistic police officer (Jack Starrett), he becomes a fugitive, ultimately going on the offensive when Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) simply refuses to "let it go."

The film starts out great but becomes a bit too routine toward the end, which features explosions galore. Stallone's physical presence lends great authority to his role, and an impassioned monologue in the film's final moments ends the movie on a powerful note. The gorgeous landscape of the Pacific Northwest provided an excellent setting for the action and was a major reason for my appreciation of this film.

- 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. When Rambo starts seeing flashbacks from his days as a prisoner of war that mimic the abuse caused by deputy Teasle and his buddies all hell breaks loose as he fights his way out of the prison, grabbing his 14 split sawteeth blade, the only trusty friend in his world and dashes out in the wilderness.

From his dog tags the sheriff knows that Rambo is a war hero and a green beret, but still is unable to leave him alone. He ... Read More

- 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!!!
