A bare-bones release of a bare-bones film. A lot of effort and enthusiasm obviously, but the outcome: complicated plottings, no-one can understand what's going on here without a degree in astrophysics. Too bad the outcome is as bad as this, although some think this is Dolph's better movies. I don't.

Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) is a not-by-the books police officer investigating the death of several people, including his partner, by a gang called the "White Boys." All the victims seemed to have died of drug overdoses, but Jack thinks that there is something more sinister afoot. His investigation reveals a plot by aliens who use the bodies to extract a chemical that is sold to addicts on their home planet. Originally entitled Dark Angel, I Come in Peace, while silly and confusing, has great production values and some excellent special effects. The main reason to see this film is because of the expert direction by former stunt-man Craig Baxley who manages to keep the action moving at a fast pace and tie up the loose ends of the threadbare story. The cinematography by Mark Irwin is outstanding and shows that imagination and a good visual sense can overcome a limited budget and a bad plot. ...Dark Angel (UK) ( I Come in Peace ) ...
