Rambo (Movie Watch)

Vietnam veteran John Rambo has survived many harrowing ordeals in his lifetime & has since withdrawn into a simple & secluded existence in Bangkok, where he spends his time salvaging old PT boats & tanks for scrap metal. Even though he is looking to avoid trouble, trouble has a way of finding him. A group of Christian human rights missionaries, approach Rambo with the desire to rent his boat to travel up the river to Burma. For over fifty years, Burma has been like a war zone. After some consideration, & due to insistence from his mentor, former military man Ed Baumgartner, Rambo accepts the offer and takes the missionaries up the river. When the missionaries finally arrive at the Karen village, they are ambushed by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint and a slew of Burmese army men. A portion of the villagers and missionaries are tortured and viciously murdered. News soon reaches the minister in charge of the mission & with the help of Ed Baumgartner he employs Rambo to lead a rescue effort. With five, young, and highly diverse mercenaries at his disposal, Rambo has to travel back up the river & liberate the survivors from the clutches of Major Tint in what may be one of his deadliest missions ever.
