First Blood
54Watch it awake.
Before he was a poster, he was a veteran a sheriff pushed, and the ending is grief.
The review
Start with the speech, not the woods. A drifter, a Vietnam veteran, is pushed by a small-town sheriff until he is at war with the police. He is not a superhero yet. At the end he talks about friends who died and a home that is not there. The sequels threw that away and kept a man you could cheer.
If you only know the poster, watch this and stop. The sheriff has a badge and spends it as pride. The town joins him. I would not root for the war in the woods. I would listen when the fight runs out and what remains is dead friends and no house to go back to. That is the film. The rest became a product that needed him dangerous.

The glance
Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

Consider this
Gladiator
70 instead of 54
Gladiator is still a action film, and it scores 70 instead of 54. What you gain is courage: He spends his body for a country that has already discarded him, and for the weak in the crowd.
