I'll support any popular media that brings the plight of the long-suffering Burmese people and a concrete action plan to alleviate said suffering D) to the broad American public. (Not that we don't have bigger fish to fry at the moment- but it's always nice to fantasize...)
Even though (in genteel circles) Burma has been cast as a human rights issue (see the Open Society Institute's Burma Project for more info: http://www.soros.org/initiatives/bpsai), it's also been the pet-project of Soldier of Fortune magazine, who've been writing articles about Junta and the Karen rebels (and other rebel groups) practically since the magazine's inception.
Plus, I just want to see a wrinkly John Rambo "f" some "s" up.
The Sylvester Stallone nostalgia tour that began with another "Rocky" continues with this fourth "Rambo." Although Stallone plays it completely straight, the mere idea of the aging action star strapping on the bandana again is risible enough to let the movie play like a comedy too, albeit one with an unusually high body count. So while much of the audience will show up to admire what armored-piercing weapons do to human flesh, others can giggle at the notion of Rambo's return in a movie that doesn't risk gumming up its carnage with much of a plot.
They also said it looks like it was shot in Griffith Park and clocks in at under 80 minutes.
