I mean, far be it from me to use this forum to be critical of one Harold Jay Knowles, but I think this is one instance where his friendship with Sly is putting a bit of sparkle dust in front of his better judgement. I seriously doubt that any other film with this premise would get a pass from him. I mean, I know he's been quite honest in the past with films made by people he's close to, but I can't shake that feeling that that's what's happening this time. A simple look at the premise of the whole rotten thing and you could probably shake a thousand similar films out of the rotten direct to video tree with a light push. Yes, I know Rambo killing X number of enemies in the second, third, and fourth installments requires a suspension of disbelief akin to hanging oneself with barbed wire, but this idea is what they had in mind I think for the phrase 'jumping the shark'.
This is a terrible idea and while I'm open to being wrong(and quite frankly what're the odds of that since I'm always right) this is not what we need from Sly Stallone right now. Seriously. Rocky and Rambo pulled you out of the direct to video slums, sir. Do not let this silly idea throw you right back into it.
