'First Blood's Author Said That This Movie in Sylvester Stallone's Action Franchise Has a "Spot-On" Portrayal of Rambo
2008's Rambo starring Sylvester Stallone is exactly how First Blood author David Morrell envisioned the war veteran.
In the Top 10 on Netflix recently was the 2008 action flick calledRambo. Sometimes called Rambo IV, Rambo: The Fight Continues, or simply John Rambo, the film was the first sequel to the franchise in 20 years, as the title character (played masterfully by Sylvester Stallone) is thrust back into action when a group of Christian missionaries in Burma are kidnapped by a military group. The film itself is incredibly engaging, showing Rambo as a man aimlessly wandering the world in search of peace, only to find himself constantly at war. Of course, even more impressive is that the praises of Rambo were sung by none other than David Morrell, the author of the original First Blood novel, on which the whole franchise is based.
