First Blood

CriticsCritics: 74
AudienceAudience: 7.8

A troubled Vietnam veteran arrives in a small town hoping to reconnect with the past, but local law enforcement treats him as an unwanted drifter. After escaping custody, he retreats into the mountains, where his survival skills turn a police manhunt into a tense confrontation.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a tense, character-driven action thriller with serious themes and wilderness pursuit; Not for you if you prefer nonstop spectacle like Cobra or The Expendables 2.
