The pop and sizzle would be twice as effective if it came with characters that connected!

Soldier is so mediocre, it might have been more mindless fun if it had been even worse.

Top Critic[The] celluloid equivalent of the junkyard planet on which this piece of garbage is appropriately set.
01/01/00
The action is handled fairly well, but it's routine, and there's no satisfaction in seeing Todd waste men who are no more bloodthirsty than he is.

Top CriticInexplicably, David Webb Peoples, the screenwriter of Blade Runner and Unforgiven, is responsible for this awful mess
01/01/00
Soldier wants to be an intense thriller with cerebral significance, but suffers from self-seriousness and silly cliches.
06/05/02
Despite being hampered by second-rate special effects and too many action film cliches, Soldier does have its fun parts.
03/03/06
David Snyder's set design, David Tattersall's cinematography and the explosions are beautiful, but the movie lacks passion, characterization, and a sense of humor.
01/01/00
As action films go, Soldier is a bad gamble: it rolls snake eyes on every front.
01/01/00
From its barren junkyard landscapes to Kurt Russell's thimbleful of spoken lines to the title itself, Soldier is so sparse it barely exists.
01/01/00
Soldier didn't deserve to be treated so harshly critics, but it didn't deserve recommendations either.
06/24/04
For testosterone freaks only!

With a cheerful disregard for characterization and visual texture, Anderson relies on his cgi-jocks and set dressers to flesh out David Webb Peoples's by-the-numbers script.

Top CriticYet another video game for the big screen which has momentum and a terrific set going for it.
01/01/00
When it comes to details like plot, character development, and genuine excitement, the film is lost in space.
01/01/00
Top CriticYou end up hating the movie that started out so good, started out so intriguing.
01/01/00
Even taken as a loud no-brainer action movie you’ll find that Soldier ends rather abruptly and unsatisfyingly.
