It's Jacob's pick once again and he's going back to the classics. This time it's the first installment in the Rambo franchise, First Blood (1982). Everybody went in expecting a great 80s action movie. We were surprised that this movie was so much more than that.

This movie was directed by Ted Kotcheff.
