GUARDIAN

2001 US HMDB
June 12, 2001

With a spate of violence that rocks the inner city, L.A.P.D. and ex-Marine John Kross investigates its cause: a new drug called Chaos. With help from his partner Carpenter, they delve into the mystery, only to discover a link between the drug and a terrifying supernatural power unleashed during the gulf war, witnessed by Kross twelve years ago. Now, Kross must race against time to stop the destruction, battle his own demons and come to grips with his destiny as he discovers that his reality has been mapped by a power much greater than himself.

The Verdict

An ancient and bloodthirsty spirit of a Sumerian demon awakens, in completely fortuitous circumstances, during the Gulf War, but a marine manages to temporarily avert the threat. Some years later, the same marine John Kross, who has since become a police officer in Los Angeles, will have to fight the demonic spirit again to prevent the end of the world.

An ancient and bloodthirsty spirit of a Sumerian demon awakens, in completely fortuitous circumstances, during the Gulf War, but a marine manages to temporarily avert the threat. Some years later, the same marine John Kross, who has since become a police officer in Los Angeles, will have to fight the demonic spirit again to prevent the end of the world. A poorly executed mix of thriller, horror, and action movie starring second-tier stars, starting with the protagonist Mario Van Peebles. This is the usual American byproduct distributed in Italy solely for the home video market (and given the film's quality, that's more than enough) with an implausible story and stereotypical characters, which doesn't even offer a sequence worth mentioning. Absolutely avoidable.
