Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
1/4
Toy Soldiers, a film with earnest performances and professional production values, is constructed out of characters, situations and gimmicks that will be instantly recognized by the weary viewer. There is nothing new here. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 01/23/2023
On its modest level, Tor Soldiers is an admirable toy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 07/11/2021
2.5/4
This isn't a slick, PG ode to the rah-rah antics of the Rambo sequels; instead, the teenagers and teachers are as likely to die as the terrorists in this violent, R-rated endeavor. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 01/28/2021

...a pretty irresistible setup that's employed to middling and predominantly underwhelming effect by Petrie Jr... Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 08/08/2013
It at least has some kitsch value for its insistence that Sean Astin can be a hard nosed action hero. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/19/2005

Mari R Nov 11 It’s so crazy how this movie has such low ratings😳I had this movie on repeat as a kid! It’s so good! Just rewatched it again, and enjoyed it as much as I did my first time watching it. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and grab some popcorn and watch it right now! You won’t regret it😁 See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 5 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Christian K @ckacar Jun 11 I guess we did use to actually make movies back in the day. This isn't perfect, its actually pretty silly, but the unique concept and genre mash works well. See more Eric P Apr 23 The critics are a bit harsh with this movie, and I don't fully understand why. I watched it as a 12 year old kid, so yes I may have some nostalgic bias. However, I just watched it again yesterday, and it still held up pretty well. It's a fun movie that's not quite as good as something like the first Die Hard, and yes, it's very "boyish" but it's still entertaining. Sean Astin (Mikey from Goonies, Rudy, LOTR) and Louis Gossett Jr, had some good chemistry in the film. Simple but effective premise and deninitely worth a watch if you're into suspensful action films. See more Brandon R Jan 12 This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I watched it weekly for years. Wore the tape out. And years later I shared it with my kids(DVD now) Sean Austin was very popular at the time, and although not as good as the goonies still a must watch. Perfect watch for an 8-10 year old. I was very surprised it's rated so low. See more Tim W 10/25/2024 “Toy Soldiers” is an excellent movie. If you haven’t seen it then you are missing out. Sean Austin in the perfect role. I love that Sean Astin cried in the film. It brought tears to my eyes. He also cried in “Rudy”. Sean is such a good actor and was with an all star cast with Will Wheaton, Keith Coogan and Louis Gossett Jr. An action and drama film. See more Read all reviews
