Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

As the supposed comatose patient, John (Scott Adkins), slowly regains consciousness after a nine-month slumber, his mind remains foggy with fragmented memories of a life that never was. The authorities, led by an FBI agent (Rus Blackwell), hasten to inform him of a brutal murder at the hands of Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a name that resonates as a malevolent presence in John's subconscious. Unbeknownst to John, this is merely a carefully crafted illusion, designed to manipulate his perceptions and orchestrate a deadly vendetta against Deveraux.

The FBI agent presents John with a photograph of the killer, fueling his ire and sparking a sense of purpose. Little does John realize that he has been reprogrammed as a clone, with fabricated memories of a non-existent family, meticulously designed to deceive him into believing he possesses free will. The authorities' ultimate objective is to turn John into a mindless assassin, driven by the primal urge for revenge against Deveraux.

As John begins to explore his new reality, he encounters individuals who seem to recognize him, their knowing glances hinting at secrets and mysteries yet to be unraveled. The enigmatic nature of these chance meetings only adds to the aura of mystery that surrounds John's existence. Meanwhile, whispers of his violent past begin to surface, painting a disturbing portrait of a man capable of immense brutality. His ex-girlfriend recounts an incident where he mercilessly beat a man into unconsciousness at her workplace, while a disfigured individual in a storage facility reveals himself as one of John's earlier victims.

The truth begins to unravel when John encounters his former clone, shedding light on the complex web of events that has transpired. This revelation sparks a sense of déjà vu, as John realizes he is not the original, but rather a copy created to serve a higher purpose. The original John had been freed by Deveraux and worked for him before eventually leaving to reclaim his autonomy.

As the cat-and-mouse game between John and Deveraux's operatives intensifies, John finds himself on a collision course with Magnus (Andrei Arlovski), one of Deveraux' most trusted lieutenants. A confrontation ensues, resulting in the death of the original John at Magnus' hands. This event marks a turning point for our protagonist, as he surrenders to Deveraux's men and begins to uncover the shocking truth about his existence.

Here's my rephrased version:

Initially, Deveraux (no actor name provided) agrees to relinquish his fabricated recollections, only to find himself on the cusp of erasing the cherished memories of his wife and daughter. As the prospect of losing these precious moments looms large, he descends into a rage, unleashing a brutal killing spree that underscores his desperation to cling to reality. In the end, the government's plan seems to have succeeded in making Deveraux' personal vendetta against their clone, John, the linchpin to their strategy. However, they failed to anticipate one crucial factor: John's searing anger towards those he perceives as having orchestrated his pain - whether Deveraux was indeed responsible for the loss of his family or not. If Deveraux was guilty, then the government deliberately manipulated circumstances to prompt John's wrath against him; conversely, if Deveraux was innocent, the government nonetheless bears responsibility for the suffering they've inflicted upon John. Following Deveraux' demise at John's hands, the latter emerges as a respected leader among the Universal Soldiers.

As the narrative hurtles towards its climax, John encounters the FBI agent once more - this time accompanied by an unexpected ally. The agent takes great pride in his accomplishment (though it was actually a ruse), but John exacts a brutal revenge... and replaces the agent with a clone.
