Questions... spoilers please


I've tried to read / watch spoiler filled reviews... almost everyone mentions the last act where they come to his ranch / tunnels and how graphic the deaths are.

But I also have a couple of minor questions from earlier in the movie.

Does Rambo get beat up bad by the bad guys when he goes to Mexico looking for the girl?
How bad? How is he able to survive and rescue her?

From what I understand the girl is kidnapped and forced into prostitution?
How bad is this? How far did they go?

At least in Taken, Liam Neeson rescues his daughter before she's touched by anyone,
they even mention on the bidding room that she's certified virgin (something like that).

Thank you.

Honestly this film wasn’t nearly as violent as the fourth but yes he does get beat up in Mexico and some man on fire rip off reporter rescues him and has a doctor stitch him up. He later infiltrates the whore house with a hammer and beats everyone up and takes the girl with him however she dies on the way home probably an OD from all the drugs they forced into her. The prostitution scenes weren’t that graphic, we see girls in a whore house clearly held there against their will, they have some injuries and they don’t look like they’ve showered in a while but that’s it.

Overall I’d say this was more violent than the first three but not as bad as the fourth. As far as quality goes it’s pretty near the bottom, it’s not a racist movie it’s just not all that good

It kind of feels like they cut a lot out. The movie zips along at very fast pace. I for one really liked it. It's a different kind of violence than we've seen in previous Rambo movies. More personal, and vengeful. There's one scene where he literally rips a man's collar bone out of his neck and threatens to snap it if he doesn't share intel. I've never seen anything like that in a movie before. The violence is very over-the-top and in-your-face, but it's all directed at sex traffickers, so it's very satisfying. They could have made them more evil though. At the end, they just come off like a trained militia force, but it doesn't really fit their profile. Movie has some issues, main one for me is that I would like to have seen the impact of what he accomplished liberate people. That's something all Rambo movies have had in the past, but you don't get that here. It kind of doubles down on this notion that "Mexico is garbage and the government doesn't give a shit" (which may or may not be true) but overall I really enjoyed it and welcome it to the franchise.

Saw this a few nights ago.
*SPOILERS*
He gets beat up quite bad but is picked up by a local journalist. It takes him 4 days to recover. During that time the girl is repeatedly drugged, beaten and raped. Once he finds her and rescues her he takes her back to the States, but she doesn't survive the journey and dies (which to be honest I really didn't think they would do). Rambo is mad as shit. The 'bad guys' are two brothers, he goes back to Mexico and brutally murders one, in order to lure the other brother and all his men back to his tunnels, where he systematically murders everyone.
