1987’s “Iron Angels” doesn’t share lofty dramatic goals, served up as a “Charlie’s Angels” riff where action dominates as war is declared between organized crime and law enforcement officials. Credited to three directors, the picture isn’t entirely interested in selling a major study of heroism and conflict, adding just enough trouble for the characters to sustain the pursuit of their goals, sold with Hong Kong-style physical ferocity. “Iron Angels” does well with its straightforward take on good vs. evil, mostly of use to viewers who enjoy blasts of stunt work and askew character business, which gets a little dizzying at times in this enjoyable feature.
