This by-the-numbers chase movie has a unique theme, with enough heart and solid action chase sequences to keep it moving.
Closest comparison: It’s like Crank by way of The Fast and The Furious.
Setting: Action
Plot: Chase
Tone: Adventure
Dark Angel (1990) - 3/5
This is a good idea for a movie wrapped in a B-movie production. It’s full of ‘80s sci-fi camp, low-budget special effects, and Dolf Lundgren-level of acting. For all that, it’s still got a solid story that never gets bogged down by the production flaws. It’s easily one of the best Lundgren films of the era and worth checking out if you like hidden ‘80s sci-fi gems.
Content warning: female nudity
Closest comparison: It’s like Sicario by way of The Terminator (1984) with the production values of Masters of the Universe (1987).
Setting: Detective
Plot: Thriller
Tone: Action
