Review of Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) by Steve W — 13 Apr 2013
A laughably bad sequel to Universal Soldier. The acting from some of the players is cringe-worthy, the cheesy rock music overplaying the shooting scene is bad, and the dialogue is so stilted you could walk across a lake.
The only saving grace of this movie is the villain SETH, played by Michael Jai White. He's got some martial arts talent and his final battle with Van Damme is the film's only faint highlight.
Bill Goldberg breaks character and isn't an interesting villain, and even though the movie does bring in a daughter concept they never flesh out any character development. An interesting route they could have taken would be that Luc doesn't show his daughter enough attention as much as Seth, and that could be something he could work on.
Its not the worst movie in the world, but as a follow up the excellent Universal Soldier, its terrible.
