O Grande Anjo Negro

I like original movies and this one is. The villain arrives at earth to creates drugs from humans. Great concept, and this drug dealer has some nasty weapons too boot. Good story line, with a odd couple teaming up to solve the problem. In the end, this movie is crazy enough for a entertaining 2 hour. Mike's pick I give it a 7!

You've got to like 80's Sci-Fi to really appreciate movies like this. I rank it right up there with Terminator, Hawk The Slayer, The Guyver, Highlander, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for good, hilarious sci-fi fun.

No, I don't think the mainstream public would like a movie like this, but if you like B-rated horror movies & sci-fi, then you should find this one to your liking too. Beastmaster, Krull, and many other movies from that era come to mind when I see this one.

Wonder if it's available on DVD yet....nope. Darn. Maybe one day.

8 out of 10 stars.

I saw this movie recently...n i bet this is one of the best movie Dolph Lundgren has ever acted in. Dolph acts as a tough cop fighting the drig mafia, suddenly large amounts of drugs have been stolen from the mafias & non drug addicts are also being killed...n the movie takes a turn from action to a sci-fi thriller. If u really are a Dolph Lundgren fan..u would'nt like to miss this one..

You can say what you want about Dolph Lundgren - yes, he's made some HORRIBLE movies and at times can make Keanu Reeves look talented - but I Come in Peace is a sizeable cut above the rest of his body of work. The plot is OK, has a few interesting touches but just as many derivative ones, but that's not what makes this film so good. It is the entertaining interaction of Lundgren and Brian Benben - their constantly ripping each other and acting macho, it's hilarious. And the other supporting characters are fun to watch, too, from Matthias Hues as the one note alien heavy, to Jay Bilas as the alien good guy, to the hilarious Mark Lowenthal as Bruce, the paranoid scientist genius. Even Lundgren gets into the act with some awesome one-liners that even Ah-nuld would be proud to have uttered. A 5-star B-movie classic!

An alien humanoid is murdering citizens of Houston to gather stocks of a rare drug only found in the human brain. With the help of a FBI Agent a Vice Cop sets out to stop the killer, whatever the cost.

Director Craig R. Baxley's Dark Angel or Stateside known as I Come In Peace is entertaining and of its time. Written by Jonathan Tydor and Leonard Maas Jr. Dark Angel is surprisingly above average for a sci/fi thriller for the time. The character of Jack Caine played by Dolph Lundgren is partially fleshed out and tries it's hardest to go against the 80's stereotype macho cop.

The other characters are well rounded but it's the delivery and how the actors realise some of the characters that skewer the production including Lundgren. That said, aliens Azeck (the Good Alien) Jay Bilas and (Bad) Talec played menacingly by Matthias Hues steals the show. With his size, white eyes and hair Hues' composure Talec is particularly creepy.

The unlikely pairing of Caine and FBI Agent Smith add that buddy cop element synonymous with action films, similar to Red Heat and Alien Nation and although worn adds some humour. There's an over powering sometime misplaced and intrusive score, that said the lasso extraction and insertion/extraction spike effect are basic but effectively done and sci-fi fans will get a kick out of the spinning blade reminiscent of Predator 2.

There's lots of explosions, gun-play, chases and clichés aside, the partner murdered, cop suspension, no one believes to name a few there's a good science fiction tale.
