Director: Sylvester Stallone
Actors: Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish
Plot: In Thailand, John Rambo joins a group of mercenaries to venture into war-torn Burma, and rescue a group of Christian aid workers who were kidnapped by the ruthless local infantry unit.
Disc Release Date: 3 September 2019
A rich new palette for fans to explore
A stomping, no-holds-barred Dolby Atmos track
Lionsgate's release also enjoys a plethora of extras which will likely never reach UK shores in their entirety
Stallone didn't just want to direct the film, he wanted "Rambo" to direct the film, giving it a distinctively visceral style
A surprisingly effective movie, which enjoys a welcome depth of character, John Wick-like lean efficiency, and Robocop levels of ultra-violence

After the hilariously over-the-top action machismo and excessive jingoism of the 1988 third entry in the John Rambo saga, it was a treat to see Sylvester Stallone allow the embittered Vietnam-vet to redeem...
