For some reason there were three sequels made in Canada to the original Jean Claude Van Damme film Universal Soldier before Hollywood made its own sequel.  This review is for the first Canadian sequel.  The last of the original film was recreated using the new cast (no Jean Claude this time) and continues on from there.  The ex-Universal Soldier is going to try to reintegrate himself into normal society with the help of his female reporter friend and his parents.  As he begins to settle into a normal life factions involved in the Universal Soldier project are beginning anew but they also want to retreive the remaining old models.  He ends up back in the clutches of the black ops group and it is up to the reporter woman to save him.

This film has some good things in it but isn't really special and has an apparent lower production value.  Some things look a little more like sets than they really should.  The exterior shots are nice but not really gripping.  The musical score is strong and omni-present but in a good way that fits with the almost camp of the film.  The movie also has a lot of soundtrack music that is a little over the top in some places.  Still it is a fair outing even if it lacks some of the feel that pervaded the first film.
