Plans for a fifth film were announced on and off again since 2008, with different iterations developed and cancelled. It was finally officially announced in May 2018, and production began that October in Bulgaria, lasting through December.

Rambo: Last Blood was theatrically released in the United States on September 20, 2019. The film received negative reviews, which focused on the generic script, gruesome violence, and perceived racism and xenophobia.

PlotEdit

Eleven years after the events in Burma, John Rambo inherits his late father's horse ranch in Bowie, Arizona, which he manages with his old friend, Maria Beltran, and her granddaughter, Gabrielle.

Gabrielle reveals to Rambo that a friend of hers, Jezel, has found her biological father, Miguel, in Mexico. Against Rambo and Maria's wishes, Gabrielle secretly drives to Mexico to ask why Miguel had abandoned Gabrielle and her mother. Jezel leads Gabrielle to Miguel's apartment, where he reveals to her that he never cared for Gabrielle or her mother.

Heartbroken, Gabrielle goes to a local club where she is drugged and kidnapped by enforcers of a Mexican cartel. Meanwhile, Maria informs Rambo of Gabrielle's secret trip to Mexico and sudden disappearance. Reluctantly, Rambo travels to Mexico and interrogates both Miguel and Jezel about Gabrielle's whereabouts. Jezel reluctantly leads Rambo to the club where Gabrielle was last seen and confronts El Flako, the man who last spoke with Gabrielle.

A mysterious woman, Carmen, tails Rambo as El Flako leads him to Gabrielle's location. Rambo is immediately confronted and beaten by the cartel, led by Hugo and Victor Martinez, who then take his driver's license, revealing the ranch's location, and a photo of Gabrielle, whom Victor recognizes. The cartel vow to mistreat Gabrielle further due to Rambo's actions.

Carmen takes Rambo back to her home where she cares for him until he heals. Carmen reveals herself to be an independent journalist and has been investigating the Martinez brothers, who had kidnapped and murdered her sister. Rambo later raids one of the brothels, killing several men until he finds a drugged Gabrielle. On the way back home, Rambo thanks Gabrielle for giving him hope for ten years before she dies from the forced overdose.

Enraged, Rambo sends Maria away and rigs the ranch with traps for a confrontation, later returning to Mexico to ask Carmen's help in finding Victor. Carmen refuses initially, believing it will solve nothing but is convinced after Rambo appeals to her grief and frustrations.

Rambo raids Victor's home, killing several guards and decapitating Victor. In retaliation, Hugo leads a group of hitmen to Rambo's ranch, where each falls victim to the rigged traps. Saving Hugo for last, Rambo mutilates and pulls his heart out. In the aftermath, a weakened Rambo sits on the porch of his father's house, vowing to continue fighting and to keep the memories of his loved ones alive. During the credits, the injured Rambo gets up, saddles up his horse and rides off into the sunset.

In February 2008, Sylvester Stallone revealed that making a fifth film would depend on the success of the fourth film, stating he was "gearing one up" and that it would "be quite different".In March 2008, Stallone revealed he was "half-way through" writing Rambo V, stating that it would not be another war movie, with Bulgaria being considered to double as Rambo's home in Arizona.In February 2009, Stallone revealed that he was proceeding with the fifth film but stated, "the conflict is whether to do it in America or a foreign country".

In August 2009, Millennium Films green-lit the film with Stallone writing, directing and starring. At that time, the plot focused on Rambo battling human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.–Mexico border. In September 2009, Stallone revealed that the film would be titled Rambo V: The Savage Hunt. The film would have been loosely based on Hunter by James Byron Huggins and would have focused on Rambo leading an elite special forces kill team to hunt and kill a genetically engineered creature.Nu Image/Millennium Films released a poster and synopsis for The Savage Hunt.In November 2009, it was reported that the plot had reverted to Rambo crossing the Mexican border to rescue a girl who had been kidnapped.

In May 2010, Stallone revealed he was "done" with the character, stating, "I think Rambo’s pretty well done. I don’t think there’ll be any more. I’m about 99% sure, I was going to do it... but I feel that with Rocky Balboa, that character came complete circle. He went home. But for Rambo to go on another adventure might be, I think, misinterpreted as a mercenary gesture and not necessary. I don’t want that to happen."At the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Millennium Films and Nu Image advertised Rambo V with posters and handouts.Following an interview with Stallone for Ain't It Cool News, in which the director expressed his desire to end the franchise, Harry Knowles reported that, "He then told me that the folks behind those posters essentially said that if Sly didn't do it - someone else would. And Sly seems fine with that."

In 2011, Sean Hood was hired to write a new script titled Rambo: Last Stand that Hood described as "more in line with the small-town thriller of First Blood.In 2012, Hood revealed that Rambo V had been put on hold in order for Stallone to finish The Expendables 2. Hood also revealed his uncertainty whether the film would be similar to Unforgiven or a passing-of-the-torch In August 2013, it was announced that Entertainment One and Nu Image would develop and produce a Rambo TV series with Stallone.In June 2014, German film company Splendid Films confirmed that Stallone had started writing the script for Rambo V, with Stallone describing it as his version of No Country for Old Men.In September 2014, it was revealed that the film would be titled Rambo: Last Blood, with Stallone directing.

In 2015, Stallone and Rambo creator David Morrell re-developed the story for Rambo V. Stallone wanted a "soulful journey" for the character that Morrell described as a "really emotional, powerful story". Stallone pitched the idea to the producers, but they wanted to proceed with the human trafficking story instead, abandoning Stallone and Morrell's idea.^[24] In October 2015, Stallone pondered on the possibility of a prequel, stating, "It's intriguing to find the whys and wherefores of how people have become what they are. The traumas, the loss and the tragedy of being in Vietnam would certainly be a great challenge for a young actor, and it would be ironic that Rambo directs younger Rambo having played it for twenty years plus".In 2016, Sylvester Stallone revealed that Rambo V was no longer in production.

ReceptionEdit

Box officeEdit

In the United States and Canada, Rambo: Last Blood was released alongside Ad Astra and Downton Abbey, and is projected to gross $23–25 million from 3,500 theaters in its opening weekend. The film made $1.3 million from Thursday night previews.

Critical response

The review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes assigned the film an approval rating of 34%, with an average rating of 4.46/10, based on reviews from 50 critics. The website's critical consensus reads: "Like the sequels that preceded it, Rambo: Last Blood is content to indulge in bloody violence at the expense of its ain character's once-poignant story."Metacritic said the film received "generally unfavorable reviews," with an overall weighted average of 33 out of 100 based on 17 critics. Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film an average 3.5 out of 5 stars and a 55% "definite recommend."

The portrayal of the Rambo character was put under scrutiny. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times was complimentary of the story's "surprisingly brooding examination" of the character: "Sure, Rambo is convincing when he ends up telling bad people, 'I'm gonna hurt you real bad,' but there is also a kind of fragility that makes us worry about people putting the hurt on him."Rating the film 4.5 out of 10 with IGN, Witney Seibold lamented how the film transformed the character from a traumatized war veteran to a "tragedy-free, unstoppable all-American badass killing machine and pop culture's central symbol for unchallenged American military might."Katie Walsh of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 1 star out of 4 and wrote, "Rambo lumbers to the finish line in the flaccid fifth installment, which is a Frankenstein's monster of badly photocopied references to the previous movies, limply strung together with the laziest of screenplays."

The script by Stallone and Matt Cirulnick also attained mostly unfavorable reactions. Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said it "feels utterly tossed-off and generic, more resembling the pilot for a Rambo television series than a proper sendoff," but credited Stallone with "keep[ing] a franchise afloat". Eric Kohn of IndieWire, who gave the film a grade of D+, said Stallone as a co-writer "does a decent job at generating empathy for Rambo through furtive gestures, but Last Blood goes overboard to prove that he's tried to be a better man."In a negative review with Variety, Peter Debruge said the screenwriters "adopt the racist view of Mexicans as murderers, drug dealers and rapists, devoid of cultural context or exceptions".Walsh called the script "barely a script at all" and the writing "lazy"; she added that story writers Stallone and Dan Gordon "trade on charged imagery rather than, you know, actually writing characters that fully express the spectrum of human morality."Rating the film 1.5 out of 5 with Bloody Disgusting, William Bibbiani said the script "has been reduced to its lowest common denominators, establishing characters quickly and then shoving them into a simplistic plot (that is to say, simplistic even by Rambo standards)."Both Kohn and Bibbiani called the plot of Last Blood derivative of Taken.

Many reported being appalled by the brutality of the action scenes, and compared its amount of gore with that of a slasher film.Debruge called it "horrible, gut-wrenching carnage to witness, and yet, it's been calibrated to elicit whoops and cheers from fans, who've faithfully followed along as Rambo evolved."Vince Mancini of Uproxx, despite giving the film a lukewarm review, wrote that "[i]t's so genuinely horrific I'm convinced there are real-life cartel videos celebrating the torture of rivals that are less gory. I was either howling with nervous laughter or covering my face the entire time."Don Kaye in Den of Geek! said he "didn't find [the violence] disturbing per se, but rather jarring in the way it takes on an almost comic book tone after the more elegiac effect the movie was striving for earlier." Conversely, Johnny Oleksinski of the New York Post said Last Blood "features what's easily the most violent movie scene of the year. It's awesome" and gave it 2 stars out of 4.Critics saw the climax of Last Blood as similar to that of Home Alone.

The depiction of a crime infested Mexico, and the stereotypical representation of most Hispanics and Latinos as criminals, prompted critics to accuse the film of racism and xenophobia, as well as pandering to supporters of the Trump presidency. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian, who gave it 1 star out of 5, called Last Blood a "massively enlarged prostate of a film [that] can only make you wince with its badly acted geronto-ultraviolence, its Trumpian fantasies of Mexican rapists and hilariously insecure US border, and its crass enthusiasm for rape-revenge attacks".Seibold said, "I understand that Rambo films have rarely been bastions of cultural togetherness, but in 2019, these broad stereotypes are offensive and dated and downright irresponsible." Kohn said, "In 2019's hypersensitive cultural environment, the depiction of murderous Mexican crime bosses and their cowering sex slaves encountering a literal white savior doesn't go down so easy."
