Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)

review

I still remember seeing the original Universal Soldier in 1992. It starred Jean Claude van Damme as Luc Deveraux, who became Universal Soldier GR44 and Dolph Lundgren as Andrew Scott/GR13 who was the bad guy. It liked the movie so much that I remember seeing it twice in the cinema. I loved the cheesy oneliners and the action. After this several sequels were made in the nineties: Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms, Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, Universal Soldier: The Return. I skipped all of them knowing they wouldn’t be any good. It wouldn’t be the last in the series though as 2009 brought Universal Soldier: Regeneration, with both van Damme and Lundgren returning. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but thought it was quite entertaining and gave it a 7.

Over the years these type of movies have become less popular and there don’t seem to be as many of them made anymore. Continue reading →
