Movie Critics
…thoughtless and unimaginatively choreographed violence… is about all this film manages to offer… —ScreenIt
…despite all the pyrotechnics, I almost dozed off twice. For those who have trouble sleeping but are reluctant to use drugs, try sitting through a showing of “Universal Soldier: The Return”. Even with the screeching, roaring digital soundtrack, you’ll be out in no time. —James Berardinelli, ReelView
