Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) is a cop who’s taken it upon himself to end the Houston drugs trade and take out its notorious chief supplier. Following a series of grim murders, Caine and his F.B.I. accomplice must track down a ruthless alien fugitive who forcibly overdoses his victims with heroin in order to siphon off the endorphins it produces in the human brain, a narcotic illegal on his own planet. Already a hardened law enforcement officer, Caine is used to fighting the toughest of criminals; but up to now they’ve all been human…

  • Classic Period Action/Horror

    Space aliens + Drugs + Yuppy Gangsters + Cops that Don't Play By the Rules... This movie is a monstrous cliche, and it is fun if you take it for that.
  • You might remember this gem as "I Come in Peace"

    This cheesy, fun 80's action (released in 1990) sci-fi action flick is a great time. I wore out my old vhs of this, I loved it as a kid. Well worth a rental, but if you like 80's buddy cop movies with sci-fi action, JUST BUY IT... You will want to show your buddies :) Dolph rules!!
  • Now THAT was different...

    I actually rented this one thinking that it was probably no good, but boy, was I surprised. Even for a gal who has been spoiled with modern CG effects, this was a great watch. I highly recommend it.
  • A rare b-movie buddy cop gem

    This film was originally released as I COME IN PEACE. I rented it when I worked at Blockbuster as a teenager and wound up paying the lost tape fee in order to keep it. Brian Benben (Dream On) plays the uptight FBI agent and Dolph is a maverick cop who won't play by the rules! Yes, you've seen iterations of this before, but it's done with such style and a weird amalgamation of sci-fi and cop cliches that everything works just right. I have seriously seen this flick fifty times.
  • I cant believe it.

    I am so happy to see this movie on iTunes, I bought this movie without hesitation and you should too. I love Dolph in this, and I think agent Smith is hella funny too, great movie.
