Fourth Rambo film has few redeeming qualities

AGEING Sylvester Stallone returns as action hero John Rambo some 20 years after his last blood-splattered outing.

The fourth in the series — and hopefully the last — Rambo (SPHE, €24.99) finds him wreaking revenge on a faction of the Burmese military junta who kidnap a Christian aid group. A man of few words, Rambo is a killing machine without parallel, and it’s no surprise the body count soon exceeds the population of Burma. I exaggerate, but only a little.
