1990 - I COME IN PEACE aka DARK ANGEL

 This is an entertaining B-movie in the best tradition of that frequently despised genre.  Dolph Lundgren is a tough guy Houston cop on the trail of a gang of drug dealers.  He slowly starts to realize that one of these drugs dealers is actually a drug dealer from outer space and a tough one to boot.

Dolph gets stuck with some comedy relief, in this case a reluctant partner who is an FBI agent.  The FBI agent character is played by the actor Brian Benben.  I don't want to say he is rather on the short side but next to the towering Lundgren he looks like a Munchkin.  Dolph also has a girlfriend played by Betsy Brantley who probably agreed to be in this film in order to make her house payment.  In any case Brantley seems sort of amused that she's in this crazy story. 

 

The film was directed by stunt coordinator and 2nd unit director Craig R. Bakley who had worked on The Warriors, The Long Riders, The A Team and Predator to name a few.  You can be sure that the film will have lots of fist fights, car chases, gun fights and explosions and I mean lots of explosions.

 

The whole film adds up to an entertaining 91 minutes especially for an action junkie.

The film was written by Jonathan Tydor and David Koepp (hiding under the name Leonard Maas J).
