And, remember I haven't seen the film yet, that the trashing of the veneer goodness of a self appointed elite of those who would "protect" us, but who are actually at least as vicious as the "baddies (compare Rambo), would not be seen as glorification.

It is a juvenile desire for no restraint, no rules. But, unlike the other films, this one has great pretensions of seriousness. It makes grand political points, argues the great issue of the day, nuclear armament and its use.

  ... if it were still the 1950s.
  But then that is possibly the time that ALL comic books/graphic novels are set in.
