	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Another cruel and ugly showcase of xenophobic carnage squeezed into barely 80 minutes and packaged for export"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Stallone storms Mexico in a laughable Trumpian fantasy (...) Please, Sly: more Balboa, less Rambo. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Rambo’s cartoonish action feats may have been riveting in the Reagan years, but these days, they’re just a tiresome slog."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"It’s unclear where, as entertainment, this calculated plunge into hate and rage really gets us these days (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"A film defined by easy, ugly politics and hammer blows of hate (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"A Disappointing And Unworthy Sequel"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[Rambo] deserves a better sendoff"
		Don Kaye Den of Geek	"[It] feels at times like it was based on an existing script that had Rambo kind of shoehorned in (...) And for a while it almost works (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Witney Seibold IGN	"Gory, offensive and shallow (...) A film with more gore than a horror film, and some legit badass action that, all too unfortunately, plays like the dark fantasies of an angry teen."
		David Fear Rolling Stone	A franchise that started off with a sense of betrayal and righteous anti-authoritarian anger ends by parroting authoritarian talking points that betray what this country is about (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"As a last hurrah for a once great action icon, 'Rambo: Last Blood' is a damp squib (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Duncan Bowles Den of Geek	"It's likely that films' sombre tone and bleak aggression will prove to be too much for some (...) The film has very much been made for the existing and devoted fans (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Harry Guerin RTÉ	"[It] is a cheap and rushed send-off. There are plenty of bodies but not much soul (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"Fans should be satisfied that this is as far as Rambo will go (...) If you’re unfamiliar with the series though, you’ll find this to be a standard, slightly dull action movie (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Donald Clarke Irish Times	"Gruesome violence, archaic patriotism – and more than a bit racist (...) [It has] enough miserable excitement to keep tolerant fans awake (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anthony O'Connor FilmInk	"A perfectly enjoyable, if oddly put-together, action flick with a decent kill count but it doesn’t feel like the conclusive end of an established character’s arc."
		Aaron Yap Flicks	"[It] should keep anyone with an appetite for bloodthirsty action satiated until the next 'John Wick' rolls around.(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
