Dark Angel

“Jack Caine. Houston cop. Human. What he's up against, isn't.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
An alien arrives in Houston with a lethal approach to the drugs trade, leaving Dolph Lundgren to interpret interplanetary customer service. The genre mashup plays its ridiculous premise straight and supplies enough gadget-fuelled action to make resistance impractical.
