Rambo Trilogy Review

There are a lot of ways of looking at this trilogy: the adventures of John J. Rambo, the lone Vietnam-vet continually used and abused by his beloved country.

Furthermore, once you get past some of the less subtle narrative techniques (think: machete) this saga is , essentially, quite a personal story about rejection and finding peace?However, most importantly?where are the features?
