For this new addition to the Universal Soldier series they brought back the the two original actors, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, back to duke-it-out. It is odd to see two 50 something actors who are definitely showing their age, fight. Still, the fight scenes were very good (even with the age thing) and they had plenty of fights filled with younger men that were convincing.

The militant Islamist Chechen Basayev abducts the children of the President and takes control of Chernobyl, threatening to unleash a radioactive cloud unless his demands are met. Luc Deveraux (Van Damme), now a Universal Soldier again, joins a new team of UniSols secretly held in deep storage. Their mission is to retake Chernobyl and disable explosives that will unleash radioactive clouds. Luc discovers that one of the reactivated Universal Soldiers is a clone of his old, homicidal Sergeant, Andrew Scott (Lundgren). He also must face the NGU, the next generation in the UniSol biotechnology.
