How ‘Last Blood’ Destroys Rambo’s American Myth

Directed by Adrian Grünberg from a script he co-wrote with star Sylvester Stallone, Last Blood strips the Rambo franchise of any overt political ideology whatsoever. He’s not on a rescue mission, at least not for long. He’s not fighting for his country, or for some nostalgic, patriotic version thereof. He’s spilling blood because he wants to — because he feels he needs to. It’s all red; no white, no blue.

This process was already underway 11 years ago, when Rambo (retitled John Rambo for its more character-driven director’s cut) saw the title character enter a conflict in which the US government had no rooting interest. “This frees writer-director-star Stallone to explore a sort of pure war,” I wrote in an essay on the film’s tenth anniversary, “without the extra thematic and ethical burden of American patriotism or Cold War rivalry to complicate matters.” As if in response, the brutality of the violence ratcheted up to unprecedented, horror-movie levels.- Source
