Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) is a Houston vice cop who's forgotten the rule book. His self-appointed mission is to stop the drugs trade and the number one supplier Victor Manning. Whilst involved in an undercover operation to entrap Victor Manning, his partner gets killed, and a sinister newcomer enters the scene... Along with F.B.I. agent Lawrence Smith, the two investigate a spate of mysterious deaths; normal non-junkies dying of massive heroin overdoses and bearing the same horrific puncture marks on the forehead. This, coupled with Caine's own evidence, indicates an alien force is present on the streets of Houston, killing and gathering stocks of a rare drug found only in the brain... Caine is used to fighting the toughest of criminals, but up to now they've all been human. Dark Angel or I Come in Peace is a 90's underrated action/thriller film starring Dolph Lundgren and i gotta say this film surprised me a lot it had a pretty cool villain who was very interesting, Lundgren was pretty cool and the film has a pretty cool ending fight sequence it's not one of the best action films from the 90's but it's really one of the most underrated ones of that time.

Dark Angel (1990) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Tough cop Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) is forced to team up with a FBI agent (Brian Benben) after a series of bizarre murders. It turns out that an alien has come to Earth with a plan for some heroin.DARK ANGEL is a science fiction movie that certainly shouldn't be confused with 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. If you need your sci-fi to be high art then you'll want to avoid this film but if you're a fan of mindless action then you'll find this gem to be highly entertaining. This is exactly what you'd expect a low-budget action movie from this period to be like.The best thing going for this film is its camp value as there are quite a few scenes that are rather hilarious. One such example is the acting of Lundgren. Yes, the big guy is fun to watch but he certainly wasn't a very good actor and this can be seen in his attempts at being serious or romantic. The murder weapon is basically a CD mixed with the weapon from PHANTASM and it really makes for some violent fun.Lundgren and Benben have some nice chemistry together and certainly make their cop-buddy thing work. The action scenes certainly show their budget limits but they too are entertaining. DARK ANGEL isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but it's fun for fans of the genre.

This is another childhood relic of mine and believe it or not it's one of my favorite films of all time, it's also my favorite film with Dolph Lundgren in it, he's always been one of my favorite if most underrated action stars which is something were becoming seriously scarce of.I really like the plot I think it's really unique for the alien invasion subgenere. Instead of the cliché approach of trying to take over the world, here this is an alien that is a drug runner and wants to kill humans not to take over their planet but to harvest humans to produce an illegal drug out of them. And I thought that was a wild but cool idea, it almost seems like it could of been a plot line for another "Men In Black" sequel, and this film was years before that movie. Let alone there really aren't that many films that deal with aliens and drugs except the movie and TV show "Alien Nation" but that's a different story.It also has the typical buddy cop format, it's nothing new but it's everything done right. I really like the back and forth between both Dolph's character Det. Jack Caine and Larry Smith (Brian Benben TV's "Dream On"). Jack is the cop that done't go by the book and Larry is the one that is technical and a higher up in a way but a bit inexperienced since he hasn't seen a lot of action. So it's a bit of an experienced cop and rookie relationship. I like that it does develop both have great lines and warm up to each other, even liked seeing some growth on Larry's part when slowly but surely he begins to become disillusioned with certain things he believes.The music is just excellent. I mainly love that theme song which is one of my favorite theme songs of all time.And of course in this film were here for both the action and effects and they are just excellent. The evil Alien (Mathias Hues) is one of my favorite fictional villains. It's true this alien doesn't say much except the line "I Come in Peace" probably the only English he knows which makes sense he's a alien after all but that line always gives me a bit of a chill because you know he doesn't. And this alien really doesn't need to say much of anything at all because he's a doer, he's just got such colorful and fascinating weaponry and gadgets to play with much like the "Predator" alien which is ironic since it's second film came out the same year and also takes place in the urban city. Let alone the size of this alien which makes him intimidating.He's got some drill wire to pump his prey with heroin and some spike on his wrist to extract the chemical he needs. But of course two of the most memorable are his powerful hand gun which is a bit like with the Lawgiver in the film/comic "Dredd"; because with this gun you can adjust the frequency of the gun to any intensity you want it to. It's awesome seeing him use it as ever single controlled burst shot just blows up a car, could possibly blow up a tank. Let alone the sound it makes, I wanted one of those guns.And of course the discs of death, the cinematography shot of those is just beautiful making them seem like a character of their own. As we those discs just bounce off walls or just seeing them zero in on their targets silting or thrusting at their throats.These features really give this alien an edge and really make both protagonists have to go for broke to win. The action sequences are well done and well choreographed, like a sequence where Jack Kane struggles with one of the Bad Aliens weapons the drill wire, it was almost like watching a tug of war.Overall "I Come in Peace" is awesome and I feel if your a fan of the action, sci-fi genre or even both then check it out. Not every alien coming to town is friendly.Rating: 4 stars

The movies were not for everyones palate, but if you were a fan of eighties action, you were sold straight away.This has to be Lundgrens best stand alone feature, it's high concept, exciting, and most of all, a lot of fun.The man can't act at all, which is clearly evident when he finds his partner dead. But your not watching this for the performances, your watching this to see a huge alien with funny eyes shooting a CD from his sleeve, and run like he has lots of springs in his shoes.Considering it's age, and the synth soundtrack by Jan Hammer, it's aged really well, and it's one of those action movies that just gets better with every viewing..
