How Jason Statham is outperformed by Rambo in Sylvester Stallone

John Rambo, as the actor Sylvester Stallone depicted him, is A controversial figure. When he first appeared in the movie “First Blood” in 1982, which is an adaptation of David Morel’s novel in 1972 of the same name, the character was somewhat close to the way he appeared in the book: One of the old warriors in the Vietnam War suffers from a post -traumatic disorder that has abused his colleagues. All of this has changed with the movie “Rambo: First Blood Part II”, which is a movie where Rambo, by working again in Vietnam to save the prisoners of war, has changed to “victory” in the war lost by America. From there, the rest of the concession saw that Rambo calls for help by the other vulnerable people involved in impossible or difficult conflicts around the world, which turns it into a kind of moral motivated mercenaries. While the character eventually stopped similar to the broken and broken soldier in Morel’s book because he became stronger and more heroic, he was still a warning war story.

Strangely, 2019 “Rambo: Last Blood” (The latest, so far, The last movie in the seriesIt barely has anything to do with war or its repercussions at all. Instead of John find himself in the middle of a new conflict between the forces that he is, he gets the bad side of a Mexican Cartel once a young daughter’s daughter kidnapped his friend. More than any previous batch, “Last Blood” makes Rambo a occasional feeling, and like a different personality. Perhaps this was Stallone’s attempt to rotate the character into new directions and transfer him away from the issue of war, but it is a remarkable embarrassing effort (not to mention foreign regret).

Fortunately, Stallone was dismantled and recovered in the same movie. “Working Man”, the latest director David Air, the stars of Jason Statham in the role of Lievan Kadi, a former Marin in Royal, who is attracted to a conflict with the Russian mafia when a friend was kidnapped to discover his young daughter. “A worker” It is basically the “last blood” that was properly accomplished, and it is appropriate that Stallone-who produced the film and participated in the script writing-was an integral part of achieving this.

A major issue stating that “Rambo: the end of the blood” that he is suffering from is the fact that it seems that John Rambo has mistakenly entered into the wrong film. Although this idea can work if it is intended, “Last Blood” is not really a fish story. Instead, it seems that Stallone was trying to see how the character would work in a different environment, using his war experiences as a set of skills that can be applied to an attempt to save an innocent girl from the cartel. Unfortunately, it is a strange suitable, especially as a fifth film (and the apparent phenomena) in the privilege. It seems as if the final movie “John Wick” has been appointed by a team of super spies on a mission to save the world; There is some overlap of tone and type, but it is very difficult to work normally.

This is not the case with “Working Man” and Levon Cade. Of course, one of the main assistance is the fact that the film is the first movie in the privilege (from the hopeless), so there are no previous installments until you agree with it or collide. But even left it aside, the movie is presented in a way that allows the character and the story to work in harmony with each other. To the ritual: When Kadi’s friends discovered that their daughter was kidnapped and sold in human trafficking, CADE is forced to help them not only because they are his friends and employers, but also because he is struggling to keep his daughter, Merry (Ila Gie), protected and care. At a major moment in the movie, Cade challenges one of the trapper to try to understand the extent of brutal trafficking, and realizes that the gangs cannot understand this because they do not have their own daughter.

In other words, “A Pharaoh Man” is the movie “Liffa Kadi”, while “Rambo: the last blood” is a movie that coincides with John Rambo in it.

It would be easier to defend “Rambo: Last Blood” if it is either more accurately appropriate with the privilege and character “Rambo”, or if it is just a motion movie. Instead, Stallone, co -writer Matthew Serolnik, and director Adrian Grunberg make the film unabated. Film makers might have been trying to return John Rambo to his “first Blood” roots, but in doing so he made a movie that seems uncomfortable like a hate thesis. It definitely has its moments – the dead man is brutally brutal, and based on above the series that has already reached its climax with “Rambo” for the year 2008 – but, as I said, it will work better either if the character of Rambo is involved, or if the film is not steeped in insects. Until 1986 “Cobra”, “,” Action movie starring Stallone, which appears to be starringIt was more strange and enjoyable than the “last blood”.

“A working man” sees Stallone and came to correct this problem and then some. Certainly, the film does not take the subject of human trafficking lightly, and the kidnapped girl, Jenny (Ariana Rivas), is appropriate. However, it is not exciting either. The same is not possible for the cartelel victim, Gabriella Monreal, in “Last Blood”, which is forced to drug addiction before the death of an overdose. A “working man” has his topical problems with a cake and eats them as well, and depicts how the Russian criminal world in the film has flying everywhere (even in the police station) while making gangsters themselves look reasonable and honorable, rather than converting them into propaganda cartoon fees.

Most of all, a “working man” never loses the fact that despite the topics raised, the film still has a feeling of fun and excitement. Keeping these qualities is the most exciting to enjoy going, because it makes Lyphene Kadi in the popular collar hero that Stalon was looking to convert Rambo into. So, while “Last Blood” is still embarrassing at the end of the “Rambo” series (unless Stallone decides to give the privilege again, a “man works” works as a possible start for a new series, in addition to more confirmation Dual Air and Statham is winning. Fortunately, the film is the justification for Stallone as a writer, evidence that his story may work well after all.
