Pluskylang Great Film overall

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

definitivelyzero I loved this film as a kid when it came out, saw it recently and was pleasantly surprised at how well it has aged."I Come in Peace/Dark Angel", at its core, is an action movie that refuses to take itself too seriously, often mocking some of the film's conceits like English-speaking extra-terrestrials. The dialogue is surprisingly witty and in some instances- hilarious, providing lines that are instantly quotable. Dolph, in what is probably his most successful solo endeavor, nails his role as a grizzled veteran detective working to solve the case of his murdered partner. Sure he won't win many accolades from the industry for his performance here, but he certainly doesn't ruin the experience and I'd argue he serves to enhance it. Brian Benben is hilarious here and he delivers his lines with all the wit and snark of a know-it-all federal agent on his first big case. And let's not forget the glorious 80's themed soundtrack by Jan Hammer (of Miami Vice fame).A perfect film to watch when you're in the mood for 80's style action without having to spend too much time in front of your TV. Highly recommended!

ivo-cobra8 For a Dolph Lundgren fan like me is I Come in Peace aka...Dark Angel (1990) Dolph's best action science fiction bad-ass flick! I grew up watching this film as a kid when I was 9. years old. Recently re watching this flick online Is still love it today. However, neither DVD nor Blu-ray disk for this film has been released in my country. I can't get it so I have downloaded from net. Dolph Lundgren did a lot of direct to video action movies that I haven't seen them yet, but I Come in Peace and Showdown in Little Tokyo are his best films he ever worked on them. I love this flick to death, I love it, it is my number 1 favorite film of Dolph Lundgren that I can always enjoy. I absolutely enjoy Jan Hammer music theme score, I absolutely love the soundtrack for this film Touch Me Tonight by Shooting Star I have a blast watching this bad-ass flick from the 90's.I come in peace...And you go in pieces, asshole! The title of the film I Come In Peace was released in the United States and it was released as Dark Angel in other territories including Europe. This flick was released in 1990 the same year the following flicks were released that year those are: Predator 2, Marked for Death and Total Recall, from Danny Glover, Steven Seagal and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I saw the trailer of Dark Angel on VHS tape- Total Recall when I was watching it and I absolutely loved this flick, it was my wish to see this movie. 1st science fiction film from 1990 about criminals being picked off by an extra terrestrial, which the main character, a policeman's partner is also killed, with "Predator 2" (which was produced months later). I Come In Peace and Predator 2 are actually similar movies but if I would had to choose between those two films I would definitely pick Predator 2 over this. Why? because Danny Glover is more bad ass than Dolph Lundgren is in here and Predator is more evil brilliant cruel villain than Bad Alien (Matthias Hues) is.Plot: Dolph Lundgren as Jack Caine, a Houston police detective who teams with an ambitious FBI agent when they discover the killer they are chasing is an alien who has come to Earth to extract chemicals from humans in order to produce a powerful drug.This action flick is about an alien drug lord that has arrived on earth, humans represent ideal drug factories of our endorphin's. To detective Jack Cain (Dolph Lundgren) the alien represents mankind's worst threat. If the alien's mission succeeds, our planet will be destroyed. Together with his straight-arrow FBI partner (Brian Benben) and his girlfriend, the city coroner (Betsy Brantley), Cain is going to send this alien home in pieces! I Come in Peace is not only a sci-fi action flick it is also a horror flick, like how Bad Alien is killing people to get endorphin's to creating a powerful drug. He throws disc killing criminals and he even thrusts a wire into people's chest killing them. He takes a knife out of his hand and he stabs people in the head, the one he feed on.There are a lot of scenes that I love in this film: small-time crooks enter a liquor store to rob it, Jack uses his martial art skill on one of the robbers, he shots the other in the head. Jack enters Warren bad guy's building him self, he uses his martial arts beating some bad guys. Jack kick's bad alien onto a broken tube. The car chase with a stolen police car is awesome and a bad-ass! Matthias Hues did an outstanding performance as the bad guy, I heard he is a really nice guy in real life, unlike his characters he was playing. I also love Brian Benben as Agent Smith FBI, he is such an underrated actor I wish he would be in more action films this days. Special Agent Smith (Brian Benben) pulls out what appears to be a customized Dan Wesson VH-15 fitted with a scope brilliant!Overall: I am giving a 10 to this flick, I only have a problem that Jack has a girlfriend in this film and a second partner helping him battle bad alien. Jack doesn't need sidekicks that is way I love Predator 2 more than I Come in peace.

utgard14 Dolph Lundgren plays police detective Jack Caine (cool name), a tough cop who doesn't always follow the rules. He's assigned a new partner, a by-the-book FBI agent (Brian Benben). The two are forced to work together to bring down a gang of drug dealers called the White Boys (good lord). Their investigation leads them into conflict with a mulleted alien killer who is being pursued by a mulleted alien cop.A sci-fi action flick that's better than it has any right being. That isn't to say it's good, just not the stinker I thought it would be. The whole thing is full of clichés. They mine every cop movie cliché from the '80s and '90s imaginable, as well as borrowing from a number of sci-fi and horror movies. Still, the aliens & drugs angle seems fresh and everything is handled slickly. The buddy cop parts of the movie are fun, with the 'Oscar & Felix' dynamic between Lundgren and Benben working well. The action scenes are fine, as are the bits of nudity throughout. The soundtrack is pure late '80s greatness (or ear cancer if you're not into hard rock or light metal). It's nothing that's going to change your world but it's a decent way to pass the time, if you're a fan of buddy cop movies or action sci-fi. I saw this under the title I Come in Peace. The other title is Dark Angel, an unimaginative title which was been used for lots of things and doesn't really tell you anything about the movie. I prefer I Come in Peace.

Fluke_Skywalker 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?
