'Last Blood' feels incredibly uneven with it being the "finale". I put that in quote as Stallone has said he's open to continue playing the character if the movie is successful.
However, the overall conclusion was lacking in my opinion.
Despite what critics have said, this is nowhere near as gory as Rambo 4, but not to say this movie isn't brutal, because it's an absolute beast towards the end. So it's not on the level of 'Texas Chainsaw', but it's no 'Logan', which this movie was clearly influenced by.
This movie is dark, like really dark - out of the entire franchise. Stallone truly shines whenever his animal instincts kicks in. Rambo is the most tragic character Stallone has ever played.
Even through it's called 'Last Blood', I doubt Stallone isn't thirsty for more.
