| "Soldier", by director Paul Anderson, is a film in which any presence of

| Every star has their good and bad moments, but few can match the
rollercoaster ride that Kurt Russell's career has been on during the past 10
years. When he's hot ("Overboard," "Executive Decision"), look out; when
he's not ("Captain Ron," "Escape From...more |

| In the spirit of David Webb Peoples’s economy of words with Kurt Russell’s
part in Soldier, I’m going to write this review with less sentences than
lines Russell had in Soldier. I’m attempting to write this review in less
than 24 sentences. more |

| I'll make a prediction right now. Kurt Russell, whom I admire as an
actor in a lot of movies, will win the Razzie award for worst actor of
1998 in 'Soldier'. I read somewhere that Russell utters a total of only
68 words in the entire film and to me he...more |

could liken it to the sci-fi cheese that was the Hollywood
product-of-choice back in the early 80s, but that would be...more |
