Negative Positive
Title: An excellent study in wordless communication.
Review: This film tackles the dogmatic dehumanization of the military, extrapolated with futuristic technology. Kurt Russel gives a brilliant performance as an automaton struggling toward human awareness. His ability to convey a broad range of emotion and turmoil - without words - makes this film riveting, as his acting enters your awareness at the speed of light, not sound. The range of nuances the viewer can percieve on his visage deepen the impact of the emotional growth he experiences so nakedly before us.Although likely thought of as an action film, I find "Soldier" an uplifting and hopeful study in the desire of one man, stripped emotionally bare as a child, to recover a life that he has never known, yet yearns for.
