Viewing Notes

Oh man. Some things are better in your memory than when revisited. THE SOLDIER definitely falls into that category. All I remember from watching this back when it came out was the spinning ski machine pistol scene and the Berlin wall car-jumping scene. If only the rest of the movie had something approximating that level of action in it, and perhaps a less thin plot to hold it all together.

But it was the early ‘80s so I guess I should have known better.
