If you think a film named itself such so as to dispel any of it, you are surely to be disappointed. Instead, go to see the intricate craftsmanship that allows each phrase and every perceivable event to have at least two diametrically opposed interpretations. And watch carefully the two exquisitely realized leads to determine which is deserving of or perhaps even utterly beneath your contempt.
Leave your comfortable digs to huddle in the mud-caked trenches of World War I. It is December 1914, just four months into this bloody fight, and the entrenched Scotch, French, and German soldiers share bullets, blood, and cold, but on this Christmas Eve, they will find something else to share as well.
This sweet little gem of a film is a tropical island in a cinematic sea of violence and nihilism. It’s a lovely reminder of old fashioned film making that probes our better selves instead of laying bare our baser instincts.
It’s blood and guts, all right, ultra violent and certainly not for the squeamish, but Rambo is driven by the same existential anguish as many Oscar contenders. And it’s not as though they don’t bloody up the screen as well, just not with such robustly efficient abandon.
Most critics anticipated the sixth Rocky installment with the same mixture of scorn and contempt as do the sports commentators in the actual film. But once again, Stallone surprises everyone by making this sixth epic more about the man than the boxer, focusing on relationships not just ringside, and ultimately coaxing even the most cynical to their feet to cheer on once again their beloved underdog.
