Im Mittelpunkt des Film stehen zwei Soldaten, Luc Deveraux und Andrew Scott, welche sich gegenseitig während des Vietnamkrieges erschießen, nachdem Scott Amok gelaufen war. 23 Jahre später werden beide im Rahmen des streng geheimen Universal-Soldier-Programms wieder zum Leben erweckt; ihre Körper wurden nach ihrem Tod auf Eis gelegt und nun gentechnisch regeneriert. Eigentlich ohne eigenen Willen, beginnt Deveraux sich an seine Vergangenheit zu erinnern und versucht nun, seinem Dasein als Killermaschine innerhalb des Universal-Soldier-Programms zu entfliehen. Mit Hilfe der Reporterin Veronica Roberts kann er entkommen, wird jedoch von den anderen Soldaten seiner Einheit verfolgt. Schließlich kommt es zum Showdown zwischen Deveraux und Scott, da letzterer sich schließlich auch an die Vergangenheit erinnern kann und eine Rechnung zu begleichen hat.

This one has grown on me. Blatantly steals and broadly waters down its basic idea of dehumanizing militarization as genre machinery from some of the best actioners of the 80s (Rambo, Terminator, Robocop, etc) but Van Damme and Lundgren make for one hell of a pairing. Both have a stiff acting style that serves their re-animated Vietnam meatsacks, Van Damme the giant muscled innocent puppy dog and Lundgren the giant muscled genocidal psycho, together forming a dueling yin/yang of America's violent amnesia, its brutality and regret, coming back to blow up a gas station, diner, grocery store or farmhouse near you. The cherry on top is that Emmerich directs this with absolutely zero pretension, it's all kicking and grenades and squibs and one-liners... just pure 90s slomo fire & rain ownage that totally earns its R-rating.Full discussion on ep 177 of my podcast SLEAZOIDS.
One of the most crowd pleasing action movies of the early ‘90s is Roland Emmerich’s Universal Soldier. JCVD vs Dolph. A rumble in the action jungle. Dolph has so much chemistry as he pretty much owns every scene he’s in. Dolph is so badass at playing bad. JCVD seems a bit wooden, except when he’s eating popcorn, but Ally Walker helps JCVD’s character, a lot. She’s a very strong player, and really helps the narrative move at a good pace. There’s supermarket shenanigans, restaurant roughhousing, motel mayhem and gas station boom boom boom. So much fun, even with the very wide open plot holes.
