Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

OTTAWA PREMIERE

The original UniSols — Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren — are back (although not the main characters), and they’ve brought with them “one of the best action movies of the year… it uses genre to explore post-traumatic stress in allegorical terms… [and] delivers a remarkably satisfying action-thriller hybrid.” (Indiewire)

The critics are raving:
