Latest Rambo Most Concise of Seriesnew
Not that the Vietnam vet ever stopped to smell the roses, but this is the wrong place to look for narrative twists or witty dialogue. Rambo doesn't even have a catchphrase or a worthy speech to make. He's too busy blowing shit up.

Gregory Hoblit's Movie Just Plain Sucksnew

The only remotely decent thing about this rote, icky thriller is Diane Lane, who manages to make her character appear competent, even as the plot collapses around her.
