Great movie, a well-done story. Effects are all good, and color, and sound are great. Kurt Russell doesn't have a lot of lines in this movie, but it all works well. Not a movie for everyone, but for hard core Science Fiction lovers, it's a must. If you have been in the military, this might appeal to you.

Great sci-fi movie about emotionless soldiers who follow orders, no matter how awful the task. They are raised from children to be killers, and have PTSD like a mother... Eventually they are replaced by an advanced genetically engineered new breed of soldiers and after a trial of combat, the old soldier leader Kurt Russel is left for dead on a wasteland. It is a moving story about PTSD and how much psychological damage these soldiers have after committing many war crimes.

Daft B-movie sci-fi that sees a futuristic soldier bred only for service is replaced by a newer, better model and left for dead on a planetary waste dump. The inevitable showdown ensues. Cheap and cheerful nonsense.

Oh Paul W.S. Anderson, you always bring me such disappointment and you always give me a deep rage inside of me in your films that feel unfinished in a strange way. Now he makes a film with Kurt Russell and Gary Busey and still mangers to f'ck it up but still directing today. Why I may ask?.
The story is about are main character Todd who is an engineered military fighting machine, but after being left for dead on a remote planet he starts a new life. He must fight his very replacements to save his newly found friends.
In every Paul W.S. Anderson movie that he direct's it always looks like it has a good buget to it like: The Resident Evil film series, Mortal Kombat, Death Race and now this film, and just like some of his other films it always has the same results; a wasted …
