"A thriller that's actually thrilling." Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
"If you like Rambo, you'll love First Blood." Find-A-Video
"...a first-rate, taut action thriller." Adam Smith, Empire
"...a very good movie, well-paced, and well-acted not only by Stallone...but also by Crenna and Brian Dennehy..." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...some of the best use of rugged landscape since the westerns of Anthony Mann..." TV Guide
Editor's Note
After being arrested for a crime which he did not commit, a Green Beret survivor of the Vietnam War begins having terrible nightmares. This gripping, action-packed tale demonstrates the tragic psychological consequences of armed struggle. A classic action movie-war film, RAMBO spawned many successful sequels.
Plot Summary
Sylvester Stallone stars as ex-Green Beret John Rambo, a shell-shocked Vietnam vet adrift in the Pacific Northwest. Harassment by an unsympathetic small-town sheriff brings on nasty flashbacks of torture at the hands of the Viet Cong; after busting out of the jail where he has been unjustly imprisoned, our psychically-scarred hero vows to get revenge on the ungrateful sheriff. Before blowing the sheriff and his town away, however, Rambo must use his jungle smarts to elude the relentless posse of state troopers and National Guardsmen who pursue him through the forest.

Movie Cynics 8 of 10
Movie Cynics 8 of 10
For those of you out there that are too ignorant to know any better, the first Rambo movie was never called Rambo, but simply First Blood. Not until the success of the sequel would First Blood have the name Rambo attached to it. Purists will complain that the first film is actually an indictment of the Vietnam war, which sets it apart from the reluctant hero attitude of the sequels that would follow...Sylvester Stallone and Brian Dennehy both make the movie what it is, a case study of what happens when two alpha males butt heads and refuse to back down. Dennehy hands in one of the most amazing ball-busting performances I've ever seen. The opening dialogue between Rambo and Sheriff Teasle is more memorable than most scenes...First Blood is often remembered as the movie that started the "Rambo" franchise. In reality, it is far superior to its later incarnations. The film is dark, depressing, and completely enthralling. Much of the imagery is moody and tense, which is quite different from the over the top action that would take its place in the sequels...First Blood is a tense action/thriller with a dark tone. The action in the film is more realistic than its following incarnations, and the direction is by far the best it ever was in the series as much of the imagery is iconic and beautiful. Check it out
