This time, Stallone's Rambo will travel to Mexico to rescue his friend's daughter after she is kidnapped by the Mexican cartel. "I hope -- on a personal and selfish level -- this is the last one. There's a very poetic feeling to this movie. If it is the last one, I think people will be thankful for it. They will be satisfied," Grunberg said.
