Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 10, 2007

This appealing formulaic action adventure (1998) displays a lot of conviction in its not-too-flashy action scenes and a little levity in the gradual socialization of Russell's character.

| Mar 7, 2007

The action is handled fairly well, but it's routine, and there's no satisfaction in seeing Todd waste men who are no more bloodthirsty than he is.

I doubt that Kurt Russell has ever had less dialogue to work with than he has in this film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 12, 2002

A potent comic-book-style action-adventure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 14, 2001

It's a big, clanging, brutal, actioner in which we search the murk in vain for the sparks of humanity the moviemakers keep promising us.

Soldier is little more than dumb genre stuff!

Soldier is so mediocre, it might have been more mindless fun if it had been even worse.

With a cheerful disregard for characterization and visual texture, Anderson relies on his cgi-jocks and set dressers to flesh out David Webb Peoples's by-the-numbers script.

Those looking for an escape from the wearing bonds of logic and sensibility could do worse, though any film featuring a professional killer named 'Todd' is surely more fiction than science.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Soldier doesn't work, although it has potential.

A waste of snappy set decoration!

| Original Score: D- | Jan 1, 2000

The action is strictly routine.

Action is everything in this sinewy, visually impressive sci-fi military adventure!
