Mymosh the Selfbegotten

The Frankenstein myth reenacted in the aftermath of Vietnam. Ted Kotcheff inverts the conventions of a war adventure film by sending a scapegoated victim / highly trained psychopath on a bloody rampage through small-town America. New wars and terrible sequels had to be thought up just to get Rambo the hell out of his own country.

Watched it today and I was surprised it took me this long to watch it and despte some over the top moments I really enjoyed it.

Before the character of Rambo became a superhero and then pop-culture icon/joke, he originated in this pretty well-made action thriller. It's not without a few over the top moments, but features a number of expertly-crafted action sequences, a strong cast, and more psychological depth than you'd expect from your typical 80s action movie. A solid film that deserves its cult following.
