y the numbers but very entertaining Martial Arts/Action flick starring (well sort of) aging veterans of the genre JCVD (who looks to be wearing too much make up) and Dolph Lungren...After the intial Universal Soldier film they did a bunch of forgettable sequals which this film tops in every way...MMA fighter Mike Kyle is suprisingly good in a major role as is fellow fighter Andrei Arlovski (in an Arnie Terminator sorta way)..

You can really see the influence that mixed martial arts has had on the genre by no only using the fighters as actors but also incorporating the mma style of combat - there are Thai influenced strikes as well as ground movies like triangles and armbars..

If, like me, you're as thick as shit and enjoy grown men beating shit out of each other then you might enjoy this....I can't help but like VanDamme to this day unlike the aging Segal who i seem to despise in direct proportion of his ever growing waist..Dolph on the otherhand was very underused in this film but on the plus side there is NO ROMANCE AT ALL...
