Universal Soldier was one of Jean Claude Van Damme's biggest hits.So a sequel would be a natural order to happen.But 7 years later?And a sequel so underwhelming that it makes Uwe Bolls efforts look good.
But what a cast!JC Van Damme along with Michael Jai White,Bill Goldberg,Kiana Tom,Xander Berkley,and Daniel Von Bergen;All do what they can in a poorly scripted,directed,and conceived follow-up to one of the best action flicks of the 90's.
Van Damme is looking better.White is an imposing villain.Goldberg is the comic relief here.There are a couple of good set ups.But they are predictable,totally-telegraphed, and undone by by over-loud metal songs.There is little or totally no exposition given to Luc's character or what it is like to have come back from the dead and the psychological effects.Now that is what it should have been like instead of the by the numbers paint job of a movie we see before us.
If you liked the first skip this at all costs.
