Everyone is bringing their politics into this film and not seeing it for what it really is, a cautionary tale of what death and bad choices look like in reality. It wasn't for me because it was sad, but the film was gritty and showed life straight up. The old Rambo films had stylized death that made the audience gloss over the carnage. This film had blood and guts and gore everywhere. War and killing look like this. People are also denouncing the film because they feel that it paints Mexicans in a bad light. Rambo is out for revenge because sex traffickers tortured and killed Rambo's sweet innocent college bound MEXICAN niece he loved as a daughter. The purest and the best person in the film was a Mexican. Everyone judging the film do not even see this young lady as Mexican. The real lesson in this film is that not Mexico, but the world can be a dangerous place. The man in the storm in the beginning of the film found that out during the storm when he made a bad decision that cost him his life. Wrong choices and not listening to advice can have real deadly consequences.
