Rambo: First Blood Part ii

ITV 10.45pm - 12.30am ★★★

War action ⊲ Director George Pan Cosmatos might have spent his entire career making glorified B-movies, but he has the rare ability to make even the most ridiculous premise look like a slice of quality cinema. Such is the case with this absurdly overwrought nonsense that has Sylvester Stallone singlehandedly restaging the Vietnam War and taking on those pesky Russkies to boot. Dir: George P Cosmatos 1985, 15, 105min
