Rambo First Blood Part I
John J. Rambo is a former United States Special Forces soldier who fought in Vietnam and won the Congressional Medal of Honor, but his time in Vietnam still haunts him. A drifter on his way to get some food, Rambo is arrested by Will Teasle, a small town sheriff who is used to getting things his way. When he can';t stand anymore abuse at the hands of Teasle and his deputies, Rambo goes crazy, uses his combat skills killing a deputy and escaping into the surrounding hills, massively armed with every weapon he needs. As the publicity of Rambo';s one man war escalates, Teasle and his posse are confronted by Colonel Trautman, Rambo';s former commander and the only one who may be able to stop the terrible fate awaiting everyone involved.

Sylvester Stallone is one of the great physical actors in the movies, with a gift for throwing himself so fearlessly into an action scene that we can't understand why somebody doesn't really get hurt.

a powerful, complex and captivating film that serves as a blockbuster action film and a serious drama

...does get loonier as it goes along, yet for a while it's actually a mournful and sobering action-movie treatment of postwar stress.

This action film hangs on an interesting reversal, taking the crazed-killer-in-the-woods theme from Friday the 13th and turning it inside out-- the psychopath is now our hero, a maladjusted ex-Green Beret played by Sylvester Stallone.

As befits a story of internal conflict, Ted Kotcheff lays out the action in an adroit style derived from Anthony Mann

First Blood is ragged and flashy; it ought to be a big success with audiences that value action for its own sake.

Director Ted Kotcheff has all sorts of trouble with this mess, aside from credibility.

The darker tone, somber subtext, and generally non-exploitative violence allow viewers to enjoy the film not only as an action/thriller but as something with a degree of intelligence and substance.

As a Stallone vehicle this is sleek, slick and not unexciting, but crassly castrates the David Morrell novel on which it is based.
