Review of Dark Angel

Dark Angel (1990)
6/10
The sci-fi elements did not provide additional value to this movie
26 October 2012
It could have been just a drug-related cop thriller where "the bad guy" could have possessed much of the appearance and skills he used as an alien; the sci-fi addition gives some awkward undertone as there were no state-of-the-art technical solutions available in the end of 1980ies. The plot is OK (with several influences from Terminator, though) and the cast beginning with Dolph Lundgren (Houston cop Jack Caine) and Matthias Hues (extra-terrestrial drug dealer Talec) get the most out of it. The ending is a bit trivial and abrupt, but does not spoil the overall picture. If you like movies with Lundgren, you will know what to expect and you will hardly be disappointed, although it is not among the best ones.
