A saga whose violent themes were refracted through the lens of each installment's era, the Rambo franchise started out as the story of one anguished Vietnam vet searching for peace, then bulked up for a pair of blockbuster action sequels -- and scaled back down for adventures on a more satisfyingly modest scale.

Sylvester Stallone knows how to stage action sequences, but the movie's uneven pacing and excessive violence (even for the franchise) is more nauseating than entertaining.

Rambo III finds its justice-dispensing hero far from the thoughtful drama that marked the franchise's beginning -- and just as far from quality action thriller entertainment.
