A custom image of Jean-Claude Van Damme in Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

The Big Picture The 1980s saw the emergence of many of the most popular action stars of all-time, including Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, and Harrison Ford. While each of these stars at least flirted with more prestigious projects throughout their career, Jean-Claude Van Damme has seemingly had no illusions about the quality of the films that he appears in.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning RAction Sci-FiThriller In Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, the story takes a darker turn as John, played by Scott Adkins, awakens from a coma to discover his wife and daughter were slaughtered in a home invasion. John's quest for vengeance leads him into a labyrinth of secrets, challenging the very nature of his identity and his place in the Universal Soldier program.

Although Universal Soldier was followed by a series of largely forgettable direct-to-DVD sequels, the franchise changed in 2009 when creative control was assumed by John Hyams, the son of the acclaimed 2010: The Year We Made Contact director Peter Hyams. Hyams’ film Universal Soldier: Regeneration featured an older Deveraux returning to the field, all whilst coping with the severe trauma of his past crimes.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Is Terrifying in 'Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning' Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning subverted expectations by turning Van Damme into a villain, a role that he had almost never occupied. The film introduces the new soldier John , whose family is murdered by Deveraux in an opening scene that has strong similarities to the Michael Haneke horror film Funny Games.
