Title: Short running time causes sequel to go down in ashes
Review: "Universal Soldier" was a half decent action film and one of Van Damme's first half decent pictures. This sequel was a good idea for Van Damme, as he is starting to head back into straight to video territory. The sequel is pretty much a rehash of the original, except it's not as interesting and it is too damn short, just as it starts to get going it ends. Luc Devearaux (Van Damme) use to be a UniSol (as they nickname them) and now he is forced to take on the new breed, who get out of control. There's Seth (Michael Jai White)and Romeo (Bill Goldberg) posing the biggest threat. some action scenes in this are quite good, especially the opening one where there is a cool speedboat chase. But I ask myself, why wouldn't original co-stars Dolph Lundgren, Ally Walker, Ed O'Ross or Jerry Orbach want to do the sequel? it must have been a dodgy script. Action fans may find something of interest here. may I say.
Is the review positive or negative?
