Plot: When the movie opens, John Kross (Mario Van Peebles) is a U.S. soldier on a covert mission deep inside Iraq on the eve of the Gulf War. What he sees from behind a sand dune is some sort of mysterious excavation, but things go badly and Kross is discovered and wounded. He awakens with vague memories of a baby being born and stolen -- and with hideous symbols carved into his torso. Years later, as a detective for the L.A.P.D., Kross' episode catches up with him when Tel-Al, an invisible, body-shifting supernatural entity, arrives in Los Angeles to claim the stolen child, now a young boy. Meanwhile, Kross is dealing with stopping the flow of a new street drug called Chaos, which is being sold by a malevolent disco owner (Ice-T) and is also connected to the Iraqi excavation that unloosed the evil spirit. The demon takes over Kross' partner's body (James Remar), just as Kross discovers the whereabouts of the boy who is the chosen one. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

Diggin' up a demon
Added 4/29/2007

Nope,this isn't the male-bonding Coast Guard film starring Kevin Costner&Ashton Kutcher.It's Mario Van Peebles as a Gulf War veteran who must fight an evil unleashed during that conflict (yes,a demon named Tlal who was imprisoned for 3000 yrs,but was inadvertently freed)There's the "Chaos" drug,dirty cops,and a little boy prophet named David.

The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese.There are slow-motion battle scenes,and Van Peebles' female counterpart looks&dresses like Trinity,Neo's girlfriend in the Matrix trilogy.Poor Mario spends most of the movie baffled-until he gets possessed by Tlal.The boy prophet David from Iraq (who's supposed to bring unity between Muslims and Christians) says the magic words,Mario falls from a great height to his death,destroying the demon,and his wife awakens from near-death.Huh?Did I miss something?Oh yeah,the plot.

VERY ENTERTAINING ACTION/HORROR MOVIE
Added 12/17/2003

A COP [MARIO VAN PEEBLES] INVESTIGATES MURDERS THAT'RE LINKED TO A DEMON. IT'S A GOOD ACTION/HORROR MOVIE. IT'S COOL HOW THIS MOVIE KEEPS YOU WATCHING. HAS SOME GOOD MURDER SEQUENCES. I REALLY THINK ICE-T SHOULD'VE SURVIVED MUCH LONGER IN THIS MOVIE.
ICE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MORE SCREEN TIME IN THIS MOVIE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A GOOD ACTION/HORROR FLICK THAT SHOULD PLEASE FANS OF THE TWO GENRES.
