The two problems I have with this highly intelligent experience is that John Hambone keeps leading the enemy soldiers in pursuit through populated areas. He is putting innocent Vietnamese villagers at risk from gunfire.

Why did he not consider the safety of the innocent villagers?

He also killed a chicken. _What gave him the right to slaughter the chicken?_

Other than these minor gripes - this highly intelligent film will please most intellectual viewers seeking something more than a basic, gung ho action film....

Confined during Uncle Sam's pleasure, "John Rambo" (Sylvester Stallone) is offered a chance of freedom by his former CO "Trautman" (Richard Crenna) but that means his return to Vietnam where he must try to rescue some POWs. It's not exactly a sanctioned operation, so he knows that it's risky - he will have little support from his own side and can expect a great deal of peril as the jungle, the VC and brutal megalomanic "Podovsky" (Steven Berkoff) stand in his way. Although it is quite well stitched together, and it doesn't hang about, I found the jeopardy of this film completely lacking. The u...
