Top Critic
This 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.

Top Critic Despite 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 Critic Soldier didn't deserve to be treated so harshly critics, but it didn't deserve recommendations either.
06/24/04
Everything in this film is criminally bland, except for Russell's badass attitude.
09/10/02
I doubt that Kurt Russell has ever had less dialogue to work with than he has in this film.

Top Critic Soldier wants to be an intense thriller with cerebral significance, but suffers from self-seriousness and silly cliches.

Top Critic 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.
