So ... I've been doing some writing for Canadian cable net Showcase's blog for the past few weeks, reviewing mostly stuff that's more mainstream than what I tend to look at here and this week's topic of discussion is Sylvester Stallone's Rambo. My deal with Showcase says I can't simply repost things written for them here but I can say that the film is really surprisingly good, a pure eighties throwback, yes, but one that knows exactly what it wants to be and executes it pretty much flawlessly. It's also enormously violent and doused in blood. Head over here for my much longer take on it.
