Bezenby Michael Madsen mumbles his way to another giro check in this horror, where a bunch of annoying teens are pursued through some sort of complex by an unstoppable killer marine. You've seen this film dozens of times over the decades so why bother with this one? No really, I'm asking you. You've got your contemporary annoying teens (drug addict, geek, err…moody one etc) that'll be laughably dated in about ten years, all sent to 'participate' in some experiment to create super soldiers. Blah blah failed experiment escapes. Blah blah running around. Shouting etc. Slight gore even. Cold-hearted scientists. More running around. Sigh.Honestly, I'm struggling to remember anything out of the ordinary about this one.

chadd firchau normally, plot holes and bad acting in a horror movie are easy to over-look, as long as the movie is cheesy, violent, and entertaining. the director of this film, David Mitchell, is absolutely clueless, not just about about how to make a decent film, but about everything. so these four rejects, two guys and two girlies, are accepted into the army, but are taken to a military research facility. the four kids don't think it's fishy that they're supposed to sleep in the same room together. one by one they're taken out of the room to be experimented on. so here's one of the worst plot holes: why would they take out one of the kids, experiment on him, then drop him off in the same room before they take another kid? there's a million rooms in that base where they could stash the experiment victim. literally no explanation is given for this. but that's not the worst of it. there's several blatantly sexual scenes in this movie, like when they have to all undress together, or when they go crazy and wanna screw... but there's no nudity. all they do is get down to their underwear and that's it. why? does this director think his film is too classy to show bare breasts? who knows. i have a laundry list of complaints about UKM but i try to keep my reviews short and sweet. please, don't ever see this movie.

lastliberal I got sucked into this because of Michael Madsen, who is working hard to get to his 200th film appearance. He may have well over a dozen appearances this year alone. This was not one of his best, but it was certainly in character and an easy paycheck.The Army is having problems finding soldiers. Instead of getting out of Iraq, they turn to scientists to develop the Ultimate Fighting Machine. Holy Universal Soldier Batman! Nothing original here.They experiment with a real war hero (Simon Northwood), but he is too advanced, so they recruit a jock, a nerd, a slut, and a neurotic virgin. War hero gets loose and carnage begins. There is a lot of blood; even a ripped off face, but there just isn't enough action to keep things interesting.The complete lack of titillation makes this a chase for the out of control machine while the new recruits run around trying to escape. It is probably in the Wat-Mart $5 bin right now. Save your money and watch Near Dark again.

movieman_kev Military experiment on unknowing test subjects in this beyond lame heavily clichéd horror flick. Horrid acting, lousy special effects, a moronic plot line, and Michael Madsen collide in what can arguably be said is the worst movie I've seen this year. Mr. Madsen, did you really need the money this bad??? Tp make matters worse all of the characters are horribly annoying and make the minutes I wasted on this festering turd stretch on and on forever making it seem like an eternity. Make no doubt about it, this movie is bad with a capital B in every possible or conceivable way.My Grade: F
