Sy Stallone completes the Rambo trilogy with this final effort. We find the lead character now working with Buddhist monks by day and fighting (for money) by night. Word reaches him that his mentor, Colonel Trautman is being held hostage at a prison somewhere in Afghanistan that is run by a sadistic Russian officer. He eventually accepts the mission to rescue the good Colonel only to find himself facing a much larger and better equipped Soviet army. This is no problem for our hero, and he battles it out with them (with the assistance of Afghan "freedom fighters(?). He eventually finds Crenna and continues to fight side by side with him against overwhelming odds. If you put the unrealistic plot aside, this is what it is supposed to be: a good action film. Add this one to complete the trilogy and don't forget the popcorn and snack food!
