CIA special agent Graver (Lorenzo Lamas) wants the killer Alexa (Kathleen Kinmont) to become a double agent and support him in his fight against the villain Mahler (veteran actor Alex Cord). Alexa only joins the fight against the bad guy after her daughter is taken hostage (by Graver, respectively the "good guys"!). Strange methods that agents working for the government are using these days - or is it just that movies don't carry conviction anymore? Anyhow, this average action movie has a few (violent) memorable moments after all, I vote 4/10.

Lots of shooting. Awesomely improbable plot combined with unbelievable action. Lamas gets to show off his wife-of-the-moment and she gets a chance to try her best to act. His efforts exceed hers marginally. O.J. Simpson plays a policeman which is an ironic turn and he uses all the acting skills he learned at USC and in Buffalo. The movie is little more than a really poor take on 'La Femme Nikita' and serves as a vehicle for the Lamas/Kinston family to make some unearned buck. This is what happens when you're good looking and your father is a big name in the business. I will not go into detail on how ridiculous the movie is because that would require some "spoilers" for examples. Watch at your own risk.

Really this movie has nothing to go for itself beside maybe Kinmont's good look. The story itself is OK, although it borrow a lot from Nikita. But its poorly executed in every aspect except Lorenzo Lamas play of the good yet "i must do my job" CIA agent. He again borrow a lot from Michael of Nikita, yet i could buy the role. Kinmont can't fight at all... every fist fight she is in is painful to watch and you have the impression any 5'8 150 pounds man could take her down. Her firearm shooting is a bit better but still...

Lamas is known to be a good martial artist, yet in his he barely use it, he fight the "henchmen" at the end, but its very lame and unimpressive despise the henchmen muscular look. He then kick the butt of a couple dudes but those are just mindless goons so it has not much weight in the balance. His acting tough is decent as i mentioned above.

OJ Simpson as the black cop is pretty caricature but OK, i didn't had any problem with him. And i will just talk of his role in the movie.

The bad guy is OK, but not spectacular, he can't fight at all so you forget a last boss type of fight.

No really CIA : Codename Alexa just end up as being one very ordinary gun shooting with some fist fight action movie of the 90s, with nothing original or especially good to offer. Really a forgettable movie. I have not seen so far part 2, i will look at it by curiosity but it surprise me this got a sequel really.
