Darker, violent and confusing
14 November 2013
I didn't know what to expect from the last UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, the first one of the franchise is a total classic, the second one was a big disappointment and the third one was a great surprise that gave a new vision to the franchise, in this new film Jean-Claude Van Damme is no longer the main actor, his character has new argumental twist becoming of some kind of colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse now, losing the little mankind he had left, I must say that his performance is what I most liked about the film. This time Scott Adkins is the star, a great martial artist who in my opinion lacks in charisma compared with the greatest stars of the genre,his final fight against JCVD is pretty awesome . Dolph Lundgren also has a brief appearance that really doesn't bring nothing to the story and MMA fighter Andrei Arlovski who played the villain in the previous one repeats his role in this one..This film is darker and most violent than the previous ones, disturbing and at moments confusing , I think is a good closure to the saga although that is not as brilliant as the original Universal Soldier and Universal soldier regeneration..
