Reviews of the movie: Universal Soldier

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren star as two soldiers that were actually killed in Vietnam but are kept alive by the U.S. military and regenerated to become types of super soldiers. It is as dumb as it sounds. Anyway Lundgren starts to create havoc all over the desert and it is up to Van Damme to stop him in this laughable action film that looks cheap and rushed

Before they made a mountain of money as the creators of Independence Day and Godzilla, director Roland Emmerich and screenwriter Dean Devlin teamed up for this action flick disguised as a science fiction thriller. Muscle hunks Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren play embattled Vietnam soldiers who killed each other in combat and are revived 25 years later as semi-android "UniSols" in a high-tech army of the near future. Their memories were supposedly wiped clean, but flashbacks occur to remind them of their bitter hatred (Lundgren committed wartime atrocities; Van Damme had tried to stop him), and the warriors resume their tenacious battle while a journalist (Ally Walker) uncovers the truth about the secret UniSol program. With energy to spare, the standard action sequences are adequate for anyone with a short attention span. And besides, with Van Damme and Lundgren in the lead roles, who needs dialogue?
