Having been less than enthralled with the results of reconstructing an army from the dead in part two, those fiendish UnSol boffins set out to create test-tube troopers in this follow-up TV movie. Although it starts tiresomely with a lengthy resumé of previous events, the new adventure eventually kicks in, with Matt Battaglia and reporter sidekick Chandra West not only being challenged with halting the dangerous research, but also with foiling a master criminal's bid to steal a consignment of United Nations gold. It's pretty standard stuff, but what gives it kitsch kudos is Burt Reynolds's awful Irish-accented performance as a CIA hot shot.

Science-fiction hokum intended to boost the appeal of its two action stars, done with enough energy and containing more than enough mayhem to appeal to fans of action movies.

Great film!
Well it's hard to believe this film is thirteen years old because it hasn't dated at all, and is still great fun to watch. It's actually quite refreshing to see a film where the effects and stunts aren't all computer-generated like they seem to be nowadays.
The plot is pretty original, the suspense is good and the acting and fight sequences are excellent. There's a small amount of romance but the thrust of the film as a futuristic action adventure can't really be beaten. -
