Rambo: First Blood Part 2

This movie is very action packed. It was directed by George p. cosmatos. It is about a soldier sent into Vietnam to do a fake mission to find PO W's. When he arrives there he really finds PO W's and tries to bring them back however when he gets to the extraction point the helicopter pulls out without anyone on board. He is then held captive but escapes and is now on a path of revenge in order to rescue the rest of the PO W's and get back at the one in charge of the extraction operation. The lighting is that of the rain forest because it can be bright at time and dark at others. This is because most of the movie takes place in the forest where the enemy base is holding PO W's captive. I don't recommend that you watch the movie on surround sound because the sound is perfect. Every bullet can be heard leaving any gun. Only do this if you are in need of a fine for disturbing the peace. The costumes are that of soldiers in world war one. You have to keep in mind that they are old PO W's. The other soldiers wore up to date clothes for their separate armies. The sets looked like professionally built houses made out of wood and straw in the forest. The only special effect that i found amazing was when they got the helicopter to rotate in one direction while the main character was moving the joystick all over the place. I was confused because in the end of the movie the helicopter caught on fire after they landed and the soldiers never put out the fire. We all know that that would have taken first priority after the PO W's.
