Rambo- Last Blood

Finally retired in his old family ranch, John Rambo lives a quiet life with Maria and her granddaughter, Gabriela, an orphan of a mother whose father abandoned her as a child. Although Rambo, who has become a father figure to her, does not want her to travel to Mexico to meet that abusive man, Gabriela decides to cross the border. When he does not return, Rambo will leave in search of him and, after finding her drugged and raped by members of a dangerous cartel, will unleash all his fury against them. 40 years ago, Cornered (in English First Blood) turned an Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone (Creed II: The Legend of Rocky) back then into the great action hero of the 80s (with permission from Schwarzenegger). As the title indicates, Rambo: Last Blood will be the last chance to enjoy the bloody adventures of this soldier whose post-traumatic disorder goes back to the Vietnam War. With a certain twilight western scent, this fifth installment of the saga, directed by Adrian Grunberg (Vacation in Hell), presents the former green beret in a golden retreat, surrounded by horses and a happy family, which is interrupted when a dangerous cartel kidnaps, and abuses, its adopted granddaughter. Created as a tribute to the iconic character, the film shows the most intimate side of an emaciated Rambo physically and mentally in the most personal battle he has fought; a hell of revenge where you will dust off your ruthless survival, weaponry and stealth skills...

Crawl

After a category 5 hurricane devastated his town in Florida, Haley ignores the authorities and tries to find his missing father. You will find him locked and wounded in the mezzanine of his house, however, at that moment the storm begins to get worse and both are trapped while the water level rises little by little. They will soon discover that this climb is the least of their problems and that they have in the house new neighbors with long teeth: huge alligators. For a couple of years the summer terror comes more from the hands of sharks than from haunted houses, demons and beings from other worlds. Movies such as Blue Hell (2016), 47 meters (2017), Megalodon (2018) and now 47 meters 2 (2019) have resumed the bad reputation of white sharks that Steven Spielberg unfairly opened in 1975 with Shark. In general, many of these past shark movies have contributed quite little in terms of suspense, form or plot. Underwater hell, however, has the virtue of combining the cinema of natural disasters with that of menacing sea creatures, although in this specific case we speak of crocodiles, a branch of terror less frequent than that of sharks although with good examples such as The territory of the beast (2007) o The beast under the asphalt, classic of the B series. The suspense is maintained throughout the footage thanks to the veteranship of two people who know what they are doing, their producer, Sam Raimi (director and creator of the infernal Possession trilogy, champion of the best low-budget horror movies) and its director, the French Alexandre Aja, responsible behind the cameras in Piranha 3D (2010) and especially the hills have eyes (2006)...
