Although the whole film is full of American-style value display and personal heroism as before, I still strongly recommend it. After all, as an entertainment film, it is still good.

This drop of blood is still enough.

I remember watching Lanbo since elementary school. At that time, I admired this typical representative of American heroism. In junior high school and high school, I continued to appreciate the second and third drops of blood, although the plot and scenes were equally spectacular and shocking. The cruelty and ruthlessness of war is also very real. The Fourth Drop of Blood has done the same. The difference is that the war-weary war machine Rambo is really war-weary this time. At least in my opinion, This time, the lone hero tends to unite and cooperate with his comrades, which is also a little closer to reality. The scene where the helicopter was shot down with an explosive warhead rocket in the third drop of blood did not appear. The overall feeling is still quite shocking. In the end, Lanbo finally returned to his hometown. Maybe he was tempted by Sarah? I think Rambo will put down his butcher’s knife this time and become a farmer. , It's too heavy, the hero should also retire, is the fifth part unnecessary? If so, maybe find a new young actor to take over the mantle? Lanbo as a reclusive mysterious teacher? At least it would be a pity that Lanbo's archery skills did not come to Beijing to participate in the Olympics.

[from Director's Cut]
Arthur Marsh: [praying] Lord, make me your instrument of peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive. It is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

John Rambo: [alternate line from Director's Cut] You're not going anywhere. And there isn't one of us that doesn't want to be someplace else. But this is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call.
