For those who don't know, this is the new Rambo film where he goes in to a foreign country to resuce Christian Missionaries who were arrested for spreading the gospel.

Well, that's good since the last movie he helped the Afghans against the Russians.
I guess he decided to leave after the Taliban took over.

I've seen trailers for this... it looks incredibly violent.

Anyway, what's up with Stallone returning to his old school characters?

I couldn't believe some of the scenes in the trailer. The trailer was more violent than the first three movies combined.

Not sure, but the last Rocky was really good, in my opinion. It was a much better way to end the series than Rocky V. I'm sure if one can stomach the violence in the latest Rambo it will be really good as well. Cause hey, it's Rambo. I'm a fan of Stallone's older characters.

Stallone wants to "Redeem" Rocky and Rambo. That's why they are both returning one last time.

Mark,
Stallone is a devout R.C., so the theme should be pro-Christian in terms of how Catholics think. Obviously, as Reformed believers our definition of Christian is different than that of the Roman Catholic Church.
But as Adam said, Sly is trying to 'redeem' Rambo and Rocky with his latest movies. His intentions are good, but if he is outside of the Lord Jesus Christ his intentions won't matter one bit on Judgment Day.
I pray he knows our Lord Jesus as his own Lord and Savior.

Hmmm, I didn't know Stallone was RC. I knew he professed to be a Christian and that he has renewed his devotion to his faith. Thus the reasons to "redeem" the characters. Too bad if he's RC though.

Actually I've seen him drop off his kids at a daycare at Bel Air Presbyterian Church (PCUSA).Hmmm, I didn't know Stallone was RC. I knew he professed to be a Christian and that he has renewed his devotion to his faith. Thus the reasons to "redeem" the characters. Too bad if he's RC though.
