Liked It

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2006)

I caught this movie on cable and have to admit I actually found myself liking it. It was worth watching just to see a strong woman of color helping to save the day rather than needing some man to rescue her. Or, being killed off within the first few minutes of the movie as people of color all too often are. I found myself cheering for Sanaa Lathan and feeling proud when she was given a weapon by one of the Predators in what seemed to be a display of respect from one warrior to the other. Watching her fight to survive made me think "You Go Girl!" My only question was when the movie ended "How is she going to get back to civilization?" I'd love to see a sequel starring Ms. Lathan.
