Rambo : first Blood (1982)
Would you believe I'd only seen bits and pieces of this and not the full thing until a few days ago? I've been missing out, it's a great movie - kind of an action-filled suspense drama. Everyone knows the war vet character Rambo of course. In the first film, John Rambo is treated pretty badly by the police in a xenophobic hick town and escapes out into the wilderness. When the cops come after him, he puts up quite a fight.
Semi spoiler alert : It was a good film but what really made it special was Rambo's monologue close to the end. Through much of the film, he seems a bit like an efficient killing machine .. but in the end he reveals all his weaknesses and we see that the machine has some broken parts and is ultimately just a man. That scene was even a little touching, brilliant acting by Sly - brilliant! Now on to part 2.
