Universal Soldier
(1992)


plot summary
 
Luc Devreux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren) are members of a military unit known as Universal Soldiers - a government project to create the perfect warrior, devoid of pain, emotions... or memories of their lives before they were turned into UniSols. When TV news reporter Veronica Roberts discovers the unit's true nature, the UniSols go to kill her but Devreux finds vestiges of humanity inside him, rescues her and they escape across the desert. Pursuing them is the maniacal sergeant Scott, driven by explosive rage born in a past war, which he still thinks he is waging...

webmaster's opinion
 
Tied only with "Pentathlon" as Dolph's best movie. This is probably one of the greatest action movies ever made, and Dolph's character is so much more than just a bad-ass - his warped sense of reality is truly frightening, and he pulls it off so well. The storyline is great (so long as you suspend reality) and c'mon - you really can't go wrong pairing Dolph against Jean-Claude Van Damme...
