Top CriticThis appealing formulaic action adventure (1998) displays a lot of conviction in its not-too-flashy action scenes and a little levity in the gradual socialization of Russell's character.
03/07/07
Top CriticThe 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 CriticI doubt that Kurt Russell has ever had less dialogue to work with than he has in this film.

Top CriticA potent comic-book-style action-adventure.

Top CriticSoldier is so mediocre, it might have been more mindless fun if it had been even worse.
01/01/00
Top CriticWith 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 CriticWhen it comes to details like plot, character development, and genuine excitement, the film is lost in space.

Top CriticSoldier is little more than dumb genre stuff!

Top CriticHas there ever been a more insipid sci-fi action film than Soldier? Probably, although it's hard to imagine.

Top CriticA waste of snappy set decoration!
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's a big, clanging, brutal, actioner in which we search the murk in vain for the sparks of humanity the moviemakers keep promising us.
01/01/00
Top CriticAction is everything in this sinewy, visually impressive sci-fi military adventure!
01/01/00
Top CriticThe action is strictly routine.
