First Blood

"'First Blood' is one of the highlights of Sylvester Stallone's career, where he also has the opportunity to show off his dramatic talent as an ex-Vietnam War veteran who, years after returning to the US, feels segregated from the rest of society. Based on David Morrell's book, the feature film is a great criticism of the way veterans were treated in the country and of the war itself. It is worth noting that this was the first major feature film from Orion Pictures, which, in addition to the two sequels to the Rambo saga, would also launch titles such as 'Amadeus', 'Platoon', 'Robocop' and 'The Terminator'."
