“He’s there, but he’s not. That’s what the whole story is built around. As soon as he walks outside his door, he has no more control. The world controls you.
“We pick it up, he’s out in this storm, a horrible storm. He’s still dealing with survivor guilt, because he couldn’t save his friends in Vietnam. A result of PTSD. He has a hard time. He has a beautiful ranch, but he lives underground.
“This is how he deals with his dilemma. There’s something subterranean in Vietnam. He has an adopted family there. His father has passed on. The housekeeper who is 70 has a granddaughter. He’s her surrogate father.”
Sly claims that while the new Rambo isn’t the muscle man of the 1980s, he more than makes up for his lack of power with “cunning.”
