Universal Soldier

Would there be any point in taking this one to the trash? Nah...didn't think so. This early Roland Emmerich film is what it is.... blow 'em up real good, throw in some fine martial arts, blow some more shit up and add a few more fights, chuck a girl in there in need of saving and blow yet some more shit up real good but not before you throw in some more martial arts and something like plot if anybody remembers. For what it is UNIVERSAL SOLDIER is good fun. Jean-Claude Van Damme actually get's to act here as an automan soldier so we get that problem out of the way from the get go. The real treat here is Dolph Lundgren who looks nasty as stink even by his standards and gets ALL of the best lines in the flick. His "monologue" in the supermarket scene is an absolute gem and is well worth looking up UNIVERSAL SOLDIER for this bit of wisodom alone.
