First Blood (1982)
Description
Okay if you're like me and you haven't seen Rambo, then prepare to have your world flipped. I dunno I thought it was another sweaty buff dude action movie but, and get this, it's fucking really good? Like a certified classic for a reason? Like your VERY italian uncle who thinks this movie is really good might actually have complicated views on the Vietnam war? Like maybe you'll cry watching this movie? Ugh. Feelings again :/
Vietnam veteran and drifter John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) wanders into a small Washington town in search of an old friend, but is met with intolerance and brutality by the local sheriff, Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy). When Teasle and his deputies restrain and shave Rambo, he flashes back to his time as a prisoner of war and unleashes his fury on the officers. He narrowly escapes the manhunt, but it will take his former commander (Richard Crenna) to save the hunters from the hunted.
