First Blood Reviews

---

It is like stepping into a nightmare
When your only skill is to kill and you have had enough of that, you tend to wander. This is the circumstance in which we find John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) Vietnam vet. Wandering around in his old field jacket he had the misfortune to bump into, of all people the local macho Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy.) It is the sheriff's duty to protect the community from people wondering around in his/her field jacket.

Well push comes to shove when the sheriff verdantly or invariantly draws "First Blood". Now nether one can back down and the whole town and surrounding hills becomes a shooting gallery.

There is only one man who may be able to save the situation if anyone is willing to listen, but will they? Yep its is Rambo's old commander Col. Samuel Trautman well played by Richard Crenna.


Sylvester Stallone drew(plenty of)'1st Blood' over Gene Hackman,Chuck Norris,David Carradine in 1st of 8 movies about Bo Gritz..
[Really 2.5 stars out of four on
a normal 1-4 star rating scale.]
Yes, Brian Dennehy and Co. had it coming,
but the real life 'Rambo', (Rt.) Lt. Col.
James Gordon (Bo) Gritz never nearly blew
up and entire Oregon town just because a
few redneck type sheriff/deputies pissed
him off! Good Special Effects, but the
only decent acting here is turned it by
vet character actor Richard Crenna. Don't
get me wrong here; I DO like Stallone in
this formula actioner. But Hackman, Norris
and Carradine are better in; Missing In
Action, P.O.W - The Escape and Uncommon
Valour. The best of the three Stallone
entries, as each steer very far away from
original 'Perot sends Gritz and Co. back
into Southeast asia to look for "P.O.W's-
M.I.A's".
