An hour into the film it's still no clearer exactly what is supposed to be going on.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 2, 2020

An overly violent mess of gory revenge, kill crazy rampages in a day-glo UniSol brothel, and an awesome brain-drilling scene. Insane, esoteric, weirdly dense, and wanting in the logic department, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning is a damn blast.

| Original Score: A | Jul 18, 2020

For a film that should feel as if it came off a conveyer belt, "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" may struggle with its origins as much as its characters, but ultimately transcends them to become something revelatory for its entire genre.

The movie succeeds as a savage and incoherent hallucination. As a story, not so much.

| May 23, 2018

The closure Day of Reckoning offers Adkins' character is as bleak and challenging a worldview as you'll find in a contemporary American film.

It's as if David Lynch collided with a truckload of martial artists and brawlers, and the resulting explosion created this strange, moody universe, full of odd sound cues; shocking, dreamlike imagery; and less flashy, more vivid fight scenes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 24, 2016

Hyams has created a truly unique object, a horror-action-flicker film about uniquely expressive bodies haunted by the minds and memories they are forced to house.

| Nov 9, 2015

Day Of Reckoning is one of the most ambitious, experimental, and downright fascinating B-movie genre pieces I have seen in years.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 25, 2013

It's a far cry from what Van Damme and Lundgren were doing twenty years ago, but in the end this film comes off like a band that claims all of the 'right' influences in interviews but can't synthesize good taste into work of merit.

| Original Score: D+ | Feb 4, 2013

Hyams' film is steeped in the myopic lust for vengeance that fuels many B-actioners, but he brings a great deal more to the proceedings.

| Jan 26, 2013

When it sticks to the fights, the thugs, and the attitude, it's a pretty good time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 22, 2013

Aside from perhaps Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren's accountants, it's difficult to say for sure who exactly has been calling for another entry in this francise.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 20, 2012

Earns its stripes as one of those bad movies that's so bad it's good, in its bad way.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 14, 2012

Several sequences of this gorefest, which is posed between hyperkinetic martial-arts mayhem and near-static moments of confusion and terror, have a gleeful virtuosity that nearly redeems its lumbering longueurs and generic splatter.

Full Review | Dec 10, 2012

Day of Reckoning is an action movie that's as much about each frame as it is about each punch and thwack and gunshot, not to mention that devastating black and white makeup job on Jean-Claude Van Damme's bald head.

If Day of Reckoning shows off some of the freedom that comes with working in the D온라인카지노추천 market, it also highlights its limitations.

Full Review | Dec 7, 2012

I found the level of violence in the film repugnant and most of the characters irredeemable, disposable and forgettable. They aren't particularly bright, either. It has the artistic sensibilities of a slaughterhouse.

| Original Score: F | Dec 4, 2012

An actual great piece of brainy action cinema.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 3, 2012

It's a bad trip LSD-like movie you either love or hate, no in-between.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 2, 2012

If you want a few well-done fights and you like Adkins, I can't completely recommend against it.
