he is a somewhat short fellow with a body of bulging unpronoucable muscles, and a sad bassett-hound face that looks like it was designed by someone out of "Oliver Twist." but the man can flat-out act. Stallone always suffers from the perception engendered by his appearance. Of course, the centrepiece to the film is Sylvester Stallone. he gives the Spec Ops Colonal Trautman enough soul to make him seem human, and enough blood and guts to make him seem like a veteran soldier. Crenna is a patriarchial character, such as he often seems to play. i won't say he's brilliant, but he is absolutely believable as a small-town sheriff faced with a situation so far out of his own experience that he cannot figure out why he can't solve the problem. he comes across like a man who's marked his territory and won't permit intrusions. his Sheriff Teasle is menacing, bigoted, and protective. Brian Dennehy hasn't missed a beat in his entire career he's been a superb character actor since i've been watching movies, and - like Michael Caine - he always puts everything into each performance. you have Stallone's John Rambo, Dennehy's Sheriff Teasle, and Richard Crenna's Colonal Trautman. the three most important characters in the film are all played by pros. this is not meant to be a Fellini-esque commentary on life, the universe, and everything. while the only imagination put into the film seems to be the various ways in which John Rambo can kill people, the basic theme is nevertheless a pretty strong one.
having said that, this is a film that is often dismissed as a macho action flick with no redeeming feature. in fact, it's plot is predictable and formulaic, and every character is two-dimensional. signed by Stallone and other cast members ($11,520), and a Luminor Panerai 1950 Regatta Rattrapante wristwatch Stallone wore in The Expendables ($19,200).This is certainly not the greatest film ever made.
