Soldier (I) (1998)
7/10
Dark, suspenseful, but fun

Far better than average Sci-fi movie, although dialogue is minimal there is a great deal of character development in the visual details if you are paying attention. Action is great with good special effects. The theme of paradise amongst garbage lost, is captivating in its own right.

IMHO, Kurt Russell was superb, and this movie deserves far more acclaim than it received. Look for Michael Chiklis as Jimmy Pig, who is nearly killed by Sgt. Todd during a flashback sequence that gives the viewer greater insight into the military conditioning that he was subjected too.

Overall, "Solider" is one of the few action movies that continues to entertain and remains one of my favorites in the Sci-fi genre.
