Predator Submit your own review for this movie

Predator

The ultimate rumble in the jungle pits Arnold Schwarzenegger and his crack commando unit against a heavily armed, perfectly camouflaged alien warrior whose favourite sport is human-hunting. Responsible for more deforestation than all the cattle farmers in Brazil, John 'Die Hard' McTiernan's thunderous sci-fi actioner is the most vicious game of hide-and-seek ever played. Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura and Lethal Weapon writer Shane Black muscle in on the action.

A semi-remake of Alien, told in terms of jungle warfare, this is a violent, brutal and exciting science-fiction thriller that scales new heights of savagery even by the standards of previous Arnold Schwarzenegger films.

It would be nice not to be able to forecast the ending of one of these crescendos of death, but we all know that Big Arnie will triumph in the end, even over an eight-foot-tall, nearly invisible alien with an armoury of sophisticated weapons that tear you apart.

So we must sit through the dispatch of his comrades one by one before the final showdown comes, leaving the sheer mechanics of the thing to keep our interest buzzing, which they do, especially the semi-invisibility which is very well realised.

The most quotable script ever written! Poncho: "You're bleeding." Blaine "I ain't got time to bleed." Fantastic!

This is by far the best film ever. With a line up of Schwartzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke and of course Sonny Landham fighting a killing machine makes this one hell of a movie. Quality!!!

One of Arnie's best actions. Pity about Predator 2 - Danny Glover is great in the Lethal Weapon series but this is one of the worst sequels ever.
