Archeologist Karen Goodleaf is called in to determine the meaning of the discovery. News of the discovery reaches a Middle East monastery where the warrior monks knowns as the Knights Templer - an ancient sect entrusted with protecting holy relics - choose their best pupil, Lukas (Dolph Lundgren) to face the diabolical threat. As Lukas races to New York, an evil Minion seizes Karen and uses its body like a parasite and host. Lukas arrives just in time to rescue Karen and despatch the Minion. The Minion takes hold of another host - revealing that it is immortal. As it cuts a path of destruction through the city, decimating a parking garage and leaving a trail of death, Karen realizes that the Minion can't be killed - but only delayed from finding a new host.

Sigh,why must Dolphy boy always go on about being a better actor than people give him credit for when he keeps churning this sort of far fetched nonsense out.
I suppose from what I was expecting of it,it was entertaining enough.His accomplice was quite attractive,though she was dressed kind of like a hooker.But,as ever,towards the end,I thought it just got pathetically silly.Nuclear silos?What on earth did they have to do with the story?And since when can you phone somebody in a church?
I've come to a conclusion that I will probably enjoy most of his films...but I'm going to stop taking them so seriously,because they're at the mental level of a 2 year old. Passable,daft hokum.**
