CIA Code Name: Alexa
CIA agent Mark Graver offers Alexa a way out after taking her into custody: infiltrate her former terrorist cell and help recover a stolen weapon. Returning undercover means deceiving the armed radicals who trained her while facing the man who still believes she belongs beside him. CIA: Code Name Alexa is well made and merciless. The body count is astonishing as amazonian Alexa (Kinmont) — a living, breathing weapon whom a detective (O.J. Simpson) refers to as the ”Rambo bitch” — stops a psycho (Alex Cord) from taking control of the world. As in all kickboxing epics nowadays, there’s a gladiatorial match, this one unequaled for exotic violence. In a feminist switch, CIA man Lamas (the real-life Mr. Kinmont) is around for romantic interest, and the resulting sentimentality, surrounded by so much mayhem, is quite stupefying. Mark Graver (Lamas) is a man of action. Graver gets the assignment of a lifetime when he goes up against a gang of terrorists led by Victor Mahler. These terrorists shoot up churches and kill cops. They want a microchip with nuclear weapons information. To get them, Mahler must get a hold of “The Microchip!” A terrorist couple is pitted against each other when the female counterpart is captured by C.I.A. agents. They convince her to help them bring down the dangerous group in this violent actioner. A CIA operative kills a terrorist during a prison break. When a group of terrorists attempts to recover a microchip implanted in the man's body, one of them is captured and convinced by the CIA to work for them as an informer.
