John awakens from a coma to discover his wife and daughter were slaughtered in a brutal home invasion. Haunted by images of the attack, he vows to kill the man responsible: Luc Deveraux. While John tries to piece his reality back together, things get more complicated when he is pursued by a relentless UniSol named Magnus. Meanwhile, Deveraux and surviving UniSol Andrew Scott are preparing to battle anarchy and build a new order ruled by Unisols without government oversight. They are weeding out the weak and constantly testing their strongest warriors in brutal, life-and-death combat. Luc has emerged operating the Unisol Church of Eventualism, taking in wayward Unisols whom the government has been secretly operating as remote-controlled sleeper agents. His mission is to liberate these Unisols from the implanted memories and the lies the government has inserted in them. As John gets closer to Deveraux and the rogue army of genetically enhanced warriors, he discovers more about himself and begins to call into question everything he believed to be true.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's a bad trip LSD-like movie you either love or hate, no in-between. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfHyams aims to bring a Heart of Darkness overlay to the proceedings, which is an inspired choice, especially for a movie series that once offered itself as summertime popcorn escapism. |
| IndiewireEric KohnHyams delivers a remarkably satisfying action-thriller hybrid that constantly pushes ahead. It's one of the best action movies of the year simply because it keeps hitting the right beats. |
| Film.comWilliam GossA B-movie that's often bloody, sometimes bizarre, but rarely boring. |
| The PlaylistGabe ToroIt may very well be the best action movie of the year. |
| Mania.comRob VauxI'd say this film hates women, but that's too limiting. It hates everyone. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonAn actual great piece of brainy action cinema. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferIt's a far cry from what Van Damme and Lundgren were doing twenty years ago, but in the end this film comes off like a band that claims all of the 'right' influences in interviews but can't synthesize good taste into work of merit. |
| New York PostKyle SmithAn intensity of purpose and a patient, suspenseful directing style make the B-movie Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning superior to most of the big-budget action films I've seen lately. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid GuzmanAfter five previous movies in the franchise, it may be time to lay down the weapons. |
