5/10
Taken meets Home Alone in this disappointing end to the Rambo Saga.

Warning: Spoilers
Although this type of kidnapping story has been done many times before, Last Blood starts out pretty good.

John has retired and spends his time taking care of his adopted family, rescuing some people and prepping for the next world war. When his daughter gets taken in Mexico and forced into prostitution Rambo has to go save her.

This movie succeeds in showing the ruthlessness of these cartels and the horrible situation these girls live in. I really liked the bond with his family and the idea of him having to take this Cartel on in an Urban environment.

Unfortunately that did not happen... Instead he just stupidly walks up to te cartel leaders house, gets cornered by 50 or so armed guys and only survives because the guy in charge is an idiot.

After recovering for a few days he just walks into some brothel with a hammer murders a few people and rescues his daughter without any resistance. -Can someone explain why this is suddenly super easy? When they know exactly who he is and who he is looking for!?

Then after all this trouble... She dies and it becomes a revenge story.

Rambo murders one of the brothers and the entire cartel follows him to his to his house where he installed some fun surprises for them. The fight starts like some good old Rambo fun, but then everyone just keeps running into every single trap like some gruesome home alone movie... The whole fight only takes 10 minutes or so and it seems like there trying to cover up the stupidity in gore and blood. Then when everybody is dead he blows everything up, what he could have done from the start, rips the guys hard out and dies...

Disappointing story, bad decisions and very few good action scenes. For me this was the worst Rambo movie and at least two stars below the previous installment.
