label by the trailer , Last Bloodwill very much have the look and feel of a neo - western , between its desert color pallet and stage setting ( which are " played " by locations like Bulgaria , Louisiana , and the Canary Islands ) . Stallone has likened the flick to being a Rambo - fied version ofNo Country for Old Menin year past , and the puzzler give off a similar notion , between its moody atmosphere and glimpses of the bloody ferocity to come . As for the subject matter : Stallone recently claimedtheRambofilms were never imply to be a political assertion , the former installing include . Nevertheless , it ’s difficult to imagine many right - wingerswon’tinterpretLast Bloodas an endorsement of U.S. President of the United States Donald Trump ’s demand for a rampart along the Mexican border , Stallone ’s actual intentions aside .

As such , it should be able to attract a number of longtime Rambo fan when it get , disregardless of the film ’s larger vital reception … though , for sure , expert review would n’t hurt its prospects .
