Dark Angel (1990)
6/10
Comes in peace and never goes to pieces
7 May 2015
Hollywood briefly tried to turn Dolph Lundgren into the next Arnold or Sly after his breakout role in 'Rocky IV', but sadly it just never happened and he was soon relegated to straight-to-video land. It's a shame really, because though he lacks Arnold's natural charisma, he's certainly got more range than Steven Segal, a contemporary whose career did take off.

'I come In Peace' (known everywhere outside of North America as 'Dark Angel' for some odd reason) is easily Dolph's best feature film (as the lead). It's a sci-fi buddy cop movie with a premise that falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny, but Lundgren and co-star Brian Benben have good chemistry and the script is occasionally witty.

And because it's the 80s (well, 1990), what are the odds that it ends with a joke/freeze frame/feel good rock song? 'bout a %100
