Rambo should be added in the title of this movie! It would be easier to find it!

I would argue that it is this film and not Rocky that is the film to start watching if you have not seen a Sylvester Stallone film. Suspenseful, not simply a mindless action film but a genuine portrayal of the mistreatment many Nam vets face when coming home. For some people who claim that Stallone is not much of an actor, watch this film.

Fantastic movie, it should be in the top 300 on this site. It's in my top 20.

I went into this thinking it would be a mindless action movie, not an in-depth look at a wounded soldier's psyche. And that was a pleasant surprise.

Much like the original Rocky, people forget how great of a film this is due to its campy sequels. It has just the right amount of action, good performances, and a meaningful statement about PTSD and how we treat our veterans.
