How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy B-movie action thriller where a rogue cop's vendetta against Houston's drug trade collides with an unexpected sci-fi twist, think gritty police procedural meets alien-invasion exploitation, played with dark humor and B-grade earnestness.

“I Come in Peace” may be Dolph’s best work. I mean, he’s awful, but the film is actually kind of fun!
Dolph tries so hard, but when he gives some of his lines, you can almost hear them thud!
