Some also accused the film of xenophobia, citing its stereotypical depiction of most Hispanics and Latinos as criminals, and its portrayal of a crime infested Mexico.

Witney Seibold said, "I understand that Rambo films have rarely been bastions of cultural togetherness, but in 2019, these broad stereotypes are offensive and dated and downright irresponsible."

Eric Kohn of IndieWire said: "In 2019's hypersensitive cultural environment, the depiction of murderous Mexican crime bosses and their cowering sex slaves encountering a literal white savior doesn’t go down so easy."

Charles Trepany calls it a "MAGA fantasy" and writes::

"The filmmakers have made Mexico seem like an infinite wasteland of crime and death, and most of the Latinx characters on screen are criminals or broad stereotypes. I understand that Rambo films have rarely been bastions of cultural togetherness, but in 2019, these broad stereotypes are offensive and dated and downright irresponsible."

This massively enlarged prostate of a film can only make you wince with its badly acted geronto-ultraviolence, its Trumpian fantasies of Mexican rapists and hilariously insecure US border, and its crass enthusiasm for rape-revenge attacks undertaken by a still-got-it senior dude.”

I had already determined I wasn’t going to go see this movie, but now I do. Thanks, critics.

I’m fed up with everything out of Hollywood needing to carry a political message. American movies are not even close to the quality of many of the foreign films. Even the Chinese focus on the story and the story only. If Hollywood made the same movie it would have to be PC, carry an anti-Trump message and a save the planet theme. When I watch a film I want to be entertained with a good story; I don’t need lessons on climate change, plastic pollution or any of the other fifty agendas popular with celebrities.

Did Witney Seibold and Charles Trepany both say, "I understand that Rambo films have rarely been bastions of cultural togetherness, but in 2019, these broad stereotypes are offensive and dated and downright irresponsible.", or did one quote the other?

I lost all respect I might ever have had for professional movie critics in 1977.

The depiction of anything that resembles reality is pro Trump.

Curious. I thought Stallone was a libtard celebrity. Has he had an epiphany?

[Openurmind]

Actually it would be the truth and reality that they hide from the masses. It would be a real life scenario and situation anywhere within a hundred miles of the border on the Mexico side.

...murderous Mexican crime bosses and their cowering sex slaves encountering a literal white savior...

Isn’t this EXACTLY the reality the democrats/socialists have been painting for the last decade?

And it sure goes down easy when the “white savior” pays their bills.

[frogjerk]

and most of the Latinx characters...

Total wackos!

[ObozoMustGo2012]

I dont need a more convincing review than that!! Cant wait to see it!

This person should work for Stallone's marketing department - I'm SO going to see this movie now!!

Rambo was about how the left in this nation treated our returning Vietnam veterans.

Rambo II was about how our gov’t spends money trying to avoid finding POWs left on the battlefield.

Rambo III was about the atrocities of the Soviet Union that our press actively avoided talking about...especially the brave Afghan people.

Rambo IV was about how naïve leftist relief groups are when dealing with brutal war zones run by dictators.

Rambo V is about the brutality of war, despots and death right here on our southern border.

They were ok when Rambo shot up a small town in First Blood.

I want to see it. The last Rambo movie was jaw-droppingly violent, but that stuff doesn’t faze me much anymore.

Anti American traitors fear a Rambo like backlash against them is the truth!

I’ll bet the reviewer didn’t like Firestorm either.
