I think Stallone is too old to play Rambo
Stallone is in a catch-22 in "Last Blood." In his seventies he's too old to convincingly take on truly menacing opponents as he did with the Soviet Spetsnaz in "Rambo" parts 2 and 3, so he's left taking on amateur thugs like a Mexican cartel, which doesn't make for a very compelling foe in comparison. The only time I felt he was in any threat was when is stupidly walked into the cartel stronghold to tell whomever was in charge to let the girl go. That was a very un-Rambo move. Because he's a senior citizen I don't think there was anyway to make this movie as good as the previous ones. The next one he'd have to take on a Scout troop.
