As working as Jason Statham, which hits “Sylvester Stalon”, the worst sequel to Rambo Sylvester Stallone

John Rambo, as it reflects actor Sylvester Stalon, is the controversial character. When he first appeared in the “First Blood” of 1982, the adaptation of David Morrel 1972, the character was quite close to how he appeared in the book: a veteran of the Vietnam War, suffering from post -traumatic stress disorders, which was cruel to his colleagues. This has changed since 1985 “Rambo: the first blood II”, a movie in which Rambo, through an act when it was placed back in Vietnam to save the prisoners of war, symbolically receives the “war” of America. From there, the rest of the franchise saw that Rambo was called for the help of other shortcomings involved in impossible conflicts and cruel staff around the world, turning it into some morally motivated wage. While the hero eventually stopped similar to the offended, broken soldier of Morrel’s book when he became stronger and traditionally heroic, he was still a cautious fairy tale about the war.

A bizarre, 2019 “Rambo: Last Blood” (Last and, to date, The final movie in the series) Hardly has nothing to do with the war or its consequences. Instead of John, at the center of a new conflict between the powers, he gets on the bad side of the Mexican cartel as soon as they steal his friend’s young daughter. More than any previous batch “Last Blood” makes Rambo feel random and almost like it. Perhaps it was an attempt to turn the character in new directions and cancel him from the topic of war, but it is extremely uncomfortable (not to mention xenophobic) efforts.

Fortunately, the table was overcome and redeemed by the same movie. “Working Man”, the last director David Ayer, stars Jason Stet in the role of Levon Kayd, a former marine infantry, who was involved in a conflict with the Russian mafia when his girlfriend discovered his young daughter. “Labor Man” In fact, the “last blood” is done correctly, and it is suitable that the steel-who created the film and wrote the script-was an integral part of this.

The main question where “Rambo: Last Blood” suffers from is what John Rambo felt by accidentally entered the wrong movie. Although this idea can work when it was intentional, the “last blood” is not really a story with fish. Instead, it seems that the table tried to see how the character would work in other conditions using his military experience as a set of skills that could be used to try to save the innocent girl from the cartel. Unfortunately, this is a strange form, especially as the fifth (and the final) movie in the franchise. It is as if in the final film “John Vick” was hired by a super spies team on the world’s rescue mission; There are several overlapping tone and genre, but it’s too hard to work naturally.

This is not the case with the “working man” and Levon Ked. Of course, one of the main assistance is that the film is the first film in the franchise (Hope on), so there are no previous parties with which it corresponds or faced. But even leaving it aside, the movie presents Keid in a way that allows the character and the stories to work in harmony with each other. Dastip: When Keid’s friends find out that their daughter was abducted and sold in trafficking in the human beings, Kad is forced to help them not only because they are his friends and his employer, but also because he is fighting for keeping his own daughter, Mary (Is Guy), protected and care. At the key moment, Kaed even challenges one of the traders to try to understand how terrifying the trade is, and realizes that the gangster cannot understand because they have no daughter.

In other words, “Working Man” is a movie about Levon Kad, and “Rambo: Last Blood” is a movie that John Rambo has.

It would be easier to protect “Rambo: Last Blood” if it either fits more neatly into the franchise and character “Rambo”, or if it was just a damn action movie. Instead, the Stalon, co -authored Matthew Tsyrulik and director Adrian Grunberg make the film tirelessly unwavering. The directors may have tried to return John Rambo to their Melancholy, the pessimistic “first blood” of the roots, but making it a movie that feels too uncomfortable as a xenophobic treatise. He has his points for sure – the murder is outrageously rigid, based on the UV series that had previously reached the maximum of “Rambo” 2008 – but as I said, it would be better if the Rambo hero was not involved, or if the movie was not so cautious. Even “Cobra” 1986, “Cobra” Steel-fired and main militant involving subtly drawn reactionary scoundrelswas more bizarre and cheerful than “last blood”.

“Working man” sees how the Stalling and Ayer correct the problem and then some. Of course, the film does not perceive the subject of trafficking in human trafficking, and the difficult position of the stolen girl Jenny (Ariana Rivas) is properly painful. However, this is also not sensationalized. The same cannot be said that for the victim of Cartel Gabriel (Montreal), in the “last blood”, which is forced to add addiction to death from overdose. “Working Man” has its urgent problems cake and also eats it, revealing how in the Russian criminal underground world there are tendrils everywhere (even in the police department), making the gangster themselves look plausible, favorally, and not turn them into propaganda caricatures.

Most of all, the “working man” never loses out of sight that, despite the topics, the film can still have a sense of pleasure and excitement. Keeping these qualities is the most savvy way, as it makes Levon Keid in a blue collar who is not a folk hero whom the Stallon wanted to turn into a ramb. Thus, while the “last blood” continues to disperse at the end of the “Rambo” series (if the steel does not decide to give franchise another last time), “working man” function as a potential start of a new series, and further confirmation of that Air and Stetem duo – victorious. Most happily, the movie is a testimony to the Stall as a writer, proof that his story can work well.
