Movie Review

Grade: C- Men have been graced with not one but two Rambo movies this year. The simply titled Rambo bulldozed its way into theaters earlier this year, much to the delight of fans looking for some mindless, gruesome fun. It was the explosive, bloody thrill ride I wanted it to be. Jump ahead a few months and we have the second Rambo film, aptly titled Son of Rambow Unfortunately, it is not the action-packed adventure one might suspect, but a childhood film inspired by First Blood.
