For me this is an absolute classic. Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren are so good in their roles; Van Damme is the kind, able, defensive soldier and Dolph is the crazy, gung-ho killer. The story is nice and the action is pretty spectacular. Rolan Emmerich's best movie. None of the Universal Soldier movies have been able to match the first.

It is amazing how far Emmerich has fallen.

I am not a big fan of Dolph Lundgren but this movie makes great use of his skills. Van Damme is also great in the movie. It is a great movie building up the rivalry and providing good action but I am still disappointed in the action scenes overall here, they have a B-movie feel to it (not sure if this was meant to be like that).

6/10
