ABOUT:
Watch the original 1990 theatrical trailer for Dark Angel — known in the US as I Come in Peace — one of the most ferociously entertaining sci-fi action films of the early 90s. “I come in peace… and you go in pieces.” Dark Angel (1990) is a science fiction action thriller directed by Craig R. Baxley, starring Dolph Lundgren as renegade Houston cop Jack Caine, forced into an uneasy partnership with by-the-book FBI agent Larry Smith (Brian Benben). When a towering alien drug dealer — played with cold menace by Matthias Hues — begins harvesting human endorphins to fuel an intergalactic narcotics trade, Caine becomes the only thing standing between Earth and an out-of-this-world epidemic. Smart, savage, and wildly underrated, Dark Angel is the film that should have made Lundgren a household name. Released under the title I Come in Peace in the United States, it remains a cult masterpiece of practical effects, neon-soaked action, and one of the great alien villains of the decade. Essential Cinema.
