Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: George P. Cosmatos
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, Charles
Napier
Running Time: 96 minutes
John Rambo is released
from prison by federal order to take part in a special recon mission in exchange
for a pardon. The vet must go back to Vietnam to document the presence of POWs.
The higher ups are secretly hoping that Rambo will find nothing, so the issue
can be swept under the rug, but things are about to get messier than they are
expecting.
Stallone was again
very good in the role of Rambo. He managed another poignant little speech
towards the end, though you could smell the formula at this point. Richard
Crenna was much better here as Trautman. His performance was less wooden.
Considering the
action to cover, this second installment in the Rambo franchise felt rushed at
96 minutes. The filmmakers took some shortcuts that took away from the end
result, though, as an action film and thriller, this was entertaining.
