I Come In Peace review

I had seen this movie on cable many years ago and have been trying to find it for years. I found it online and ordered it, and eagerly awaited it's arrival. Upon receiving it, I was like a kid on Christmas.

Be warned: This movie is a late 80's early 90's piece of sci-fi/ horror schlock, and I mean that in the greatest way. Dolph Lundgren stars as a detective who's investigating a multiple homicide. The culprit? An alien who's on earth to steal a drug found inside the human body to bring back to his home planet! As to be expected, Dolph spends the duration trying to hunt him down and next to nobody believes him.

Premise wise, nothing special. This movie does exude a subtle charm though. Much like Evil Dead, it's clear this movie isn't trying to be taken seriously. It's simply trying to be fun and it succeeds. You can clearly tell that everyone involved had a blast making this movie, and in all honesty, it's really enjoyable!!

It doesn't matter what type of film you're seeking, be it horror, science fiction, action or comedy, this one will hit the spot. If you enjoy a little "cheese" with your movies, I suggest you check this out. Good performance's all around and some really good action set pieces make this a really fun watch with a group of friends. It would even make for a hell of a drinking game. And it boasts one of the greatest, cheesiest lines ever.

Highlight scene: Showdown/gunfight in grocery store parking lot.
Best Quote: Alien: "I come in peace"
