DARK MISSION

Cinemavixion Review

Jesús Franco's 1988 offering, "Dark Mission" (also known as "Dark Mission: Evil Flowers"), plunges viewers into the murky world of international espionage and narcotics. Starring the iconic Christopher Lee alongside Christopher Mitchum and Richard Harrison, the film follows a dedicated CIA agent's perilous undercover operation in South America. Franco, a prolific director known for his distinctive style, crafts a narrative that, while perhaps not reaching blockbuster heights, offers a gritty portrayal of the war on drugs. The presence of Lee lends a certain gravitas to the proceedings, and the film's straightforward plot serves as a solid vehicle for its action and suspense elements. For enthusiasts of 80s thrillers and Franco's extensive filmography, "Dark Mission" presents an intriguing, albeit lesser-known, entry worth exploring.
