Title: Surprisingly Unoriginal Schlock
Review: Not one original idea! Which is the biggest shock, since this was written by David Webb Peoples, the on responsible for Blade Runner, 12 Monkies and Unforgiven. Here he is trying to cross the Sci-Fi genre with the Western genre and comes up with a boring knock off of every movie in those genres. And what should have made up in unorginal ideas in the script should have been the action scenes. But yet another surprise happens. These action scenes are no good, even boring. The surprise being that the movie was also directed by Paul Anderson, who directed the fun martial arts film Mortal Kombat, which was supported by it's incredible martial arts scenes. Produced by Jerry Weintraub's JW Productions, which also produced The Avengers, and like The Avengers, Soldier had everything going for it, and just collapsed by it's lack of originality.
