Movie Review by AJ

Soldier is awful, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. But I've got to admit I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a long time. Granted, I fell in love with The Last Picture Show a couple of days ago, but it isn't exactly what I would call "fun" or "entertaining." Well, Soldier is, and for all of the very very wrong reasons. The beginning training sequences are pretty dark, if pretty silly, but the real fun kicks in when Kurt Russell shows up as the title soldier with those hilariously cold and unmenacing blue eyes of his. Eyes of "faux fury," if you will. Russell's character only speaks 104 words, which makes how bad he is even more amazing. I especially love that when he first sees a woman and realizes his attraction to her, we see those funny funny eyes and then an extreme close-up of her breasts. Well, that was well-telegraphed, wasn't it? Turns from Gary Busey and a weird post-Commish, pre-Shield Michael Chiklis contribute to the wealth of ham. Add to that director Anderson's ridiculous action sequences and laughable special effects, and you've got a recipe for garbage that even Ed Wood would toss aside. Manages to induce head-splitting migraines and deep belly laughs at the same time. I am in awe.
