RAMBO-4-MY REVIEW

RAMBO-4 aka JOHN RAMBO


After a long long gap Sly Stallone is back with another violent episode of the Rambo series.Enikku serikku Sylvestor Stallone ennu paranjal aadhyam orma varika aa pazhaya mudi valarthi kayyil oru kathi pidichu nilkkunna RAMBOyude chithramanu.Njan aadhyam kanda action film aayirunnu FIRST BLOOD (oru 18-20 kollam munpu) and coz of that Sly Stallone has a special place in my heart.Last time we saw Rambo in Afganistan and I think it was before the collapse of soviet Union.So ithinu munpathe episodilokke onnukil COLD WARine base cheythayirunnu allengil the war with Vietnamese.But ippo athokke pazhamkathakalanu so oru puthiya prameyam kandethanam ADI undakkan and atlast they decided a war torn BURMA is the perfect place.


The film opens with a news reel showing the violent killings and human right violations in Burma.A news reelil parayunnundu Burmayile ee civil war aanu lokathil ettavum kooduthal neendu nilkkunna civil war ennu.After this footage we are taken into the picteresque heartland of Burma.Oru miltary truckil ethanum civiliansine kondu vannu oru idathu irakki vidum and they will be asked to run thru a field and the militants will throw live mines in to the field and the civilians on the run will step on this mines and will be torn into pieces.People who refuses to run or who escaped the mines are shot dead by the Militants.The scenes are BLOODY and they are as graphical as it could be.


Now our hero aka JOHN RAMBO is living in the Thai-Burma border and he is earning his livelihood by doing odd jobs for the villagers like making knives,,Metal spare parts and also catching poisonous snakes for the showbiz men (Paambu pidithom,kolla paneem).One day a group of social workers from the USA approaches him and asks him to take them to Burma.They came to know that RAMBO knows that part of the world better than anyone else but they arent aware that he is one of the most efficient warrior/killing machine America has ever produced.Pullikaaran nammade Lalettane pole vettum kuthum okke nirthi GOOD BOY aavan ulla sramathilanu mathramalla vayassum oru paadayi (Engane nokkiyalum JOHN RAMBO enna character is 60+).So he is reluctant to take them across the border.Avarum nammade annanum samsarichathu ethandu ithu pole aayirunnu..

Laval: Onnavanathile kaazcha kaanan enneyum koodonnu kondu poku

Annan : Ninneyorikkal njan kondupokum innuvendinnuvendomalale...


But aaa kuttathil oru chellakiliyundu laval nammade Tamil/Telugu cinemakalil okke kannunnathu pole ottakkirunnu karayuka,mazhayathu irunnu karayuka thudangiya ghorapravarthikalillode nammade annande manassu maatti.Entha cheyya varanulla ADI vazhiyil thangilla ennanallo.Angane nammade Annan avare okke oru BOATil ketti yathra thudangi (Nalla kure picteresque shots undu ivide..).Halfway thru the river they came across a group of militants and they asked them to stop and came on board to check the passengers.Ithinide nammade Chellakiliye kandappol matte boatile LEADER annanu oru IKKILI.Enikkavale poosanam ennu LEADER..lavale thottal ninne poosumennu Annan..pinne ellam valare pettennayirunnu...Annan thokkeduthu ellattinem "TAPPE"TAPPE" ennu suttu posukki!!

Eee sambhavam kazhinjappol annan chodhichu "Makkale ithra pore nammalkku thirichu poyikoode" ennu but aa penkochu ottakaalil nilppanu "Enikku avide poye pattoo" ennu.Angane veendum avar yathra thudarnnu and they reached Burma and the people were welcomed by the local social workers.Annan ithu kazhinju thirichu Paambu piditham continue cheyyanayi naattilekkum ponnu (Nadu = Thailand).


Ithinidayil aa social workers thamasichirunna gramam avidathe miltants valanju and majority of the population were killed by them and the Americans were took hostage (Ellattinum nalla best PEDAYUm kitti).Kurachu doosam kazhinjum ivare kaananjappol Americayile achayanmarkku pedi aayi.Avar oraale nammade Annande aduthekkayachu asking him to carry a group of mercenaries to Burma inorder to bring back the hostages.Annan agrees to take them to Burma and he takes a bunch of thugs to Burma and he will tell that he also come with them but the leader of the thugs told him that "It is none of a BOAT MAN's business" and asked him to stay in the Boat(Vinaasa kale vipareetha budhi).


Kore nadannu nadannu avar kathi nasicha aa gramathilethi and they were attacked by the militants...pillerde shape maarunnathinu munpu nammade Annan evide ninno oru Ambum,Villum kondu prathyakshappettu..pinne nammade Arjunanem,Karnanem,Limba Raminem okke naanippikkuna prakadanam aayirunnu annande vaka.Ithu kandappol matte pillerkku manassilayi thadi kedakathe kudeel thirichethanamengil Annan parayunnathu kelkkunnathanu nallathennu.After that they teamed up and tries to rescue the prisoners...Pinne enthundavum ennu oohikkavunnathalle ullu ?

Ende abhiprayathil Rambo seriesile worst film ithanu but compared to other recent action films this is far better.If you are allergic to blood and violence it is better you stay away from this movie.This movie has a very violent and graphical representation of blood and death.I read somewhere that RAMBO-3 is the most violent movie ever made and I think RAMBO-4 is a good contender for that title.At 61 Sly Stallone still looks fit and if he havent undergone some sugeries and medications in the past he still wudve looked what he looked 20 years back.If the GRAPEVINE is true then we will be seeing the fifth episode of RAMBO soon and this time the field of action will be USA.Swaram nannayirikkumbol thanne paattu nirthane ennanende prarthana...coz for people like me JOHN RAMBO is a LEGEND!!
