Universal Soldier might be dumb and derivative but I couldn't care less, it is also one of the most entertaining action films to be released in the 1990s and provided signature roles for two of my favourite trash icons, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. The film also servesa testament to the last good movie made by Roland Emmerich before selling his soul to the Hollywood machine.<br/><br/>This film has long been a favourite with genre fans. Universal Soldier was a theatrical box office hit but really developed its cult following on video. I watch this film every couple of years and I'm always struck by the quality of the writing, directing and yes, even the acting. This is simply a well crafted movie and an excellent example of a film that is so much more than the sum of its admittedly tawdry parts.<br/><br/>Universal Soldier owes a hell of a lot to "The Terminator". It lifts a whole raft of ideas from Cameron's action classic, including the basic concept of a good guy with superhuman strength protecting a woman from a bad guy with superhuman strength. Actually, it even borrows minor details like the eye-cam, the nude walk and an act of self-mutilation. Nevertheless, the film never feels like a blatant rip off. Roland Emmerich, while never a particularly original mind, injects sufficient change and innovation into the film to ensure it has a distinct energy of its own.<br/><br/>The film recycles old ideas with great skill due to the excellent screenplay. The action comes thick and fast, and the dialogue is first rate for an action film. Furthermore, it provides several memorable characters and successfully introduces an element of black humour without detracting from the action. No matter how well written it is, an action film is onlygood its action sequences and Mr Emmerich does not disappoint. The film contains several fantastic set pieces, from the grandeur of the hostage rescue to the phenomenal truck chase through the desert, which even manages to find time for a mid-chase game of "catch" with live grenades and a string of memorably corny one-liners. Emmerich is in his element, filming explosions and stunts from every imaginable angle. Universal Soldier is also far gorier than his later films and is all the better for it.<br/><br/>The film would not be halfenjoyable without its leading men. Jean-Claude and Dolph both give great performances. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Jean-Claude was at his physical peak and excels during the action scenes. He performs several signature flying kicks in a great fight with Dolph, which is mercifully filmed in a long shot - I wish the John Woo wannabes from the "cut and paste" school of directing who directed Jean-Claude's later films had taken note. Dolph is great funthe villain, making crazy eyes for all he is worth and relishing every trashy one-liner. They both are more than adequate in their non-action scenes, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that they are essentially playing refined zombies who walk around naked a lot. The supporting cast is also great. Ally Walker showed a lot of promisethe female lead and has gone on to have a good career in television. Jerry Orbach and Tico Wells, also TV regulars, give memorable performances in minor roles.<br/><br/>Universal Soldier is relentless, the film starts with a bang and never lets up. It might be trashy, but it is never less than completely entertaining. In my opinion, this is one of the seminal action films of the 90s. The sequels, however, are only recommended for experienced crap connoisseurs.
Action genre superstars Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren headline this slick, high tech thriller that, refreshingly, does have a sense of humour about itself without resorting to a lot of self-conscious jokes. The muscle men play Luc Deveraux and Andrew Scott, two soldiers who were serving in Vietnam when they had an ugly confrontation that resulted in their "deaths". Almost a quarter century later, they're rebornsuper human fighting machines createdpart of a secret government operation (naturally). Problems arise when both of them have their old memories triggered, and remember that they hated each other. So the fight is on! Director Roland Emmerich, who's been pretty consistent since with his handling of mega budget escapism ("Stargate", "Independence Day", "2012", etc.), makes this a good deal of fun. Hell, it's got a dream cast for an action fan, even if some of the actors present don't get to do too much. Among Van Damme and Lundgrens' fellow Universal Soldiers (or UniSols, if you will) are Ralf Moeller ("Gladiator"), Tommy 'Tiny' Lister ("No Holds Barred"), Simon Rhee ("Best of the Best"), and Eric Norris (Chucks' son). Ally Walker is both beautiful and perfect for the genre with her energetic portrayal of the feisty female tagalong who attempts to help Luc; also among the strong supporting cast are Ed O'Ross (Arnolds' nemesis in "Red Heat"), Leon Rippy ('Deadwood', 'Saving Grace'), and Tico Wells ("Trespass"). Van Damme is likablealways, and Lundgren gets a chance to really chew the scenery, especially in his one big emoting scene where he admonishes the stunned onlookers in a supermarket. This scene, unlike any other, shows that nobody is pretending to take any of this very seriously. The script not surprisingly calls for Van Damme to remove his clothes, so there is some eye candy for some viewers. Production design (by Holger Gross) and cinematography (by Karl Walter Lindenlaub) are excellent, the enormous van in which the UniSols travel is pretty bad ass, and the action is first rate, especially the climactic chase scene and the final fight which is atmospherically done. This has become quite the franchise, with several sequels having been released over the years, and it remains a solid entertainment 20 years later. Eight out of 10.
It's the kind of movie that crumbles into trash – non-recyclable – if you spend more than 10 minutes thinking about it. It's designed for dumb fun, and delivers some. [10 July 1992, p.D3]
