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 CriticDespite being hampered by second-rate special effects and too many action film cliches, Soldier does have its fun parts.
03/03/06
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.
07/21/05
Top CriticSoldier didn't deserve to be treated so harshly critics, but it didn't deserve recommendations either.

Wow. What a terrible movie.
02/08/03
Disappointing.
01/20/03
There's too little character development and no reason to care.
12/08/02
A doggedly simple-minded diversion of rare purity.
10/15/02
Everything in this film is criminally bland, except for Russell's badass attitude.
09/10/02
Competent and nothing more.

I doubt that Kurt Russell has ever had less dialogue to work with than he has in this film.
07/12/02
Soldier wants to be an intense thriller with cerebral significance, but suffers from self-seriousness and silly cliches.

A potent comic-book-style action-adventure.
02/14/01
Top CriticIt resonates on more levels than just a simple action film.

The pop and sizzle would be twice as effective if it came with characters that connected!
01/01/00
Soldier seems destined for the trash heap!
