Review of Soldier

Soldier (I) (1998)
2/10
TALK!!!
1 December 2001
WHY DON'T YOU EVER TALK!?!?! If there was one thing that made this movie so bad, was that he DIDN'T TALK!!!! Especially at times when talking was required!! This movie might have had at least SOME redeemable qualities if I wasn't so stuck on him NOT TALKING!!!

-Example of a necessary place to talk: Todd's with the kid in the bed room and a snake is on the floor near the kid. Todd picks up a boot and hits the ground a bunch of times. What?! Then he grabs the snake out of mid air just in time. TALKING WOULD BE NICE, PLEASE!!!

But you know, other than that, the movie was not all that bad. I mean the plot was totally predicable, especially the fight between Todd and the bald guy (whoever didn't see that coming needs to seriously consider taking courses in looking for the blatantly obvious). But other than that, the gun outs were pretty cool. The only thing that kinda confused me was when the natives shot at one of the soldier guys, the bullets bounced right off, yet when Todd shot at him, the bullets ripped them to shreds. It was the same gun too. Does his advanced skill in combat tell him how to pull the trigger stronger to make bullets fly faster? I don't know...

2:10 stars just because of talking (or lack there of). If you can make a movie that has the main character not talk much, and make it good, I respect you. I DON'T respect the director of this movie.
