With this "UniSol" (Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski) leading the way, they seize the crippled Chernobyl nuclear reactor, threatening to unleash a lethal radioactive cloud. The only one who can stop them is Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a UniSol who's been decommissioned for years. Reactivated and retrained, Deveraux must make a full-out assault on the heavily armed fortress. But inside, he'll discover not one but two of these virtually indestructible warriors. Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), Deveraux's vicious UniSol enemy from the original Universal Soldier, has been secretly reanimated and upgraded. Now, these elite fighters are locked, loaded and programmed to kill; and the fate of millions hinges on this high-action showdown.… Expand

Critic Reviews

Tom Breihan

It might, in fact, be the best straight-to-DVD action movie ever made. And the fact that there’s any competition for that title should tell you that times have changed. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

Connoisseurs of straight-to-video mayhem will revel in the latest chapter of the "Universal Soldier" franchise, which manages to strike that delicate balance between over-the-top ridiculousness and well-crafted filmmaking. [28 Feb 2010, p.Q28]

Empire Simon Crook

An indecently entertaining trashfest. Read full review

R.L. Shaffer

This belated sequel lacks the wit and charm of its predecessor, resulting in a po-faced action flick that has "straight-to-DVD" written all over it. Read full review

IN fact I would go as far as saying it is just as entertaining than the original. The story has good references to Chernobyl, government/military versus criminal themes, as well as moral, social and political dilemmas that soldiers, politicians and civilians have to face. The fight sequences are varied with the lead actors doing an amazing job. The minor plot twists are good and suspense sequences are shot very well. The only issue that I have is that the dialogue is a bit sloppy in places. But its not yawn-inducing as the second movie.… Expand
