#POSITIVES.
1. Interesting plot as always in any Rambo movies and a trilling execution.Stallone does the job of  a Director perfectly.
2. The main highlight of the movie is the legend Sylvester Stallone itself.He looks energetic and agile as the great Rambo.He knows better than anyone ,how to stage action sequences.Stallone invests the role with a realistic  acceptance to keep the mythic dimension of his greatest character alive.
3. Action sequences are just mind blowing and full of lots of thrills and passion.

#NEGATIVES.
1. The movie can be criticized for it's over blown violence and torture scenes.It can a bit disturbing for some.

#BOX OFFICE.
  A Rambo movie can never be missed by the generation of 80's and 90's and as all the previous movies ,the fourth part too was well received by the audience across the world.Even though due to some business controversy ,one of the biggest cinema chain,Odeon refused to screen the movie in many European cinema halls.The movie was banned in Burma because of it's content.In spite of these set backs the movie collected more than $120 million against a budget of $50 million.

TIP OF THE DAY: LIVE FOR NOTHING OR DIE FOR SOMETHING.
