This movie really deserves a 7, at least. Jean Claude has a smaller role than general because director kind of makes you witness a time-line of terror related events. So it's not a one-man-show. The Universal Soldiers are ruthless and terrifying. Differently than the first two films, this one makes feel grateful that this type of a soldier does not exist (yet)!
The details are not ignored and a lot of expense was made for this movie, obviously (in comparison to the first two)The result is a fulfilling movie with lots of adrenaline.
No messing around. Real,solid action! Probably the best of the three, so don't miss it!

It was hard for me to rate this movie, but still think it's a little bit underrated. Here I go with no spoilers...
Down Sides: Clive Owen who is much more than a promising adventure-movie actor is not very committed to the role. His grim and cool stance may easily be mistaken for a catatonia case. Maybe it can be justified by the hard days he's been having but still, he could have done better...if the screenplay allowed him. Same goes for Naomi Watts...
Yes, the screenplay omits the personal side of the the struggle. The psychology of going against all odds could have added much to the film.
Also there are big and small logical defects in the script which, although I am not the kind of guy that enjoys finding them, I was disturbed to be distracted by so easily...What is the real motive for the assassination, how can a bunch of guys with Uzis enter a public building with considerable security and why bother choosing that place for "severing all ties with the consultant", why does no policemen come, why does Naomi Watts not look hot enough in this film???...the list goes on.
After all these years, I was looking forward to a better end in such a movie. A twist, a very good monologue etc. if not a total surprise. At the end I did not know if it was the end until I saw the credits. I wish I was 17.
Now the Up Sides: Clive Owen is still a good casting choice for this kind of story.
The plot sums up almost all basics for this kind of dark-international-money laundering-government ending-conspiring story very successfully. It is a must see for fans of this kind.
The dose of action is good; it is not Die Hard, nor is it The Interpreter.
The conversations explaining "the way of the world" are very good, with some gems to be remembered.
