Decent update of the man from the movie "Universal Solider", March 27, 2000
This made for TV made movie is a decent update of the man that VanDamma played in the original. It still deals with the man Luc Devereaux has from being a former Unisol. The Unisol program is tracking the former solider.Luc also has a lady friend who works for the media helping him. The action is decent (considering it's for TV ) Also in this movie is Gary Busey playing a commander of Universal Soliders. There are couple of plot of plot twists along the way so I wont give them away! This movie has non stop action,thrills and searing special effects! Its a fun movie even if you have not seen the original movies !

An impossible story of robotic fighting dead soldiers, February 9, 2011
In 1953, the US government made robotic-like soldiers out of dead soldiers by resurrecting them by genetic means. The recycled soldiers have no memory of their past life and no set of values other than to obey. If shot, stabbed, or the like, they can be rejuvenated by spraying a substance on the wound. When the program is revealed, the government terminated the program. Most of the "universal soldiers," as they were called, were destroyed. But a rogue element in the CIA is keeping the program alive, surreptitiously.
A reporter is in love with GR44, one of the soldiers. When GR44 is ordered by his controllers to return, he has no will of his own and complies. She follows him. She discovers GR44's brother who had been killed more than a decade ago, had been resurrected, but not made into a universal soldier. She tries to rescue him, but the two are captured. While being taken, they pass GR44 who regains some of his memory when he sees his bother.
Will GR44 and his brother be saved, or only one of them? Will GR44 be able to become normal, or will he remain somewhat robotic? Can the reporter have a meaningful relationship with him?

For direct a direct to video sequel I liked it 7/10, August 25, 2009
This review is from: Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms (DVD)
This was a 1998 TV movie Universal Soldier Brothers in arms it stars Matt Battagila replacing Van Damme as Luc Deverux Chandra West replacing Alley Walker as Veronica Roberts Gary Buesy as Mazur Jeff Wincott as Eric Deverux & Burt Reynolds as Mentor. Story basically after the defeat of Andrew Scott/GR13 the UNI SOL project wants Luc Deverux back & they find a way to the base of operations in Chicago. Veronica finds a picture of Luc as a kid his Mother tells him he has a brother who was MIAKIA in Nam in 1959. Luc's Father can't find him so Veronica who is still wanted for murder from the 1st movie goes to Chicago to get Luc she finds Eric frozen & frees him he was a failed early attempt at a UNI SOL. So eventually Luc sees his brother turns against the UNI SOL program Eric's captured so Luc & Veronica need to save him & destroy the program & take Mazur out. The music is good the acting is decent. Not as kick @$$ as the 1st movie but a good sequel none the less.
