This movie was not really what I expected or at least not what I hoped it would be. Sure it is a decent enough action flick if you watch it as a stand-alone movie but it is also really different from the other Universal Soldier movies and I cannot say that I really liked the different track this movie took.

Masterpiece

The handsome, but wooden as a board, Scott Adkins ("John") wakes from a coma after his wife and daughter are brutally murdered before his eyes in his kitchen! For some reason he was left alive, and he determines on vengeance against "Devereaux" (Jean-Claude Van Damme). He, meantime, is teaming up with "Scott" (Dolph Lundgren) and the pair are working to establish a new world order run by him and his fellow "UniSols"…

It is a dead horse. Let it be Scott does his best and sure, the fights work, but the rest is just no fun anymore. The movie tries to go for more of a bendy clony vibe this time around, and just cannot stick the landing. Dolph and Jean-Claude both look old and tired, and I understand why they made no more of these. It is not a very good movie, unless you are a completionist.
