One of the best 80's action movies - period

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2004)

**CONTAINS SPOILERS**
Certainly one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best, perhaps only second to T2: Judgement Day.
The plot is solid, full of suspense as well as kick-ass action. The fact that the Predator is not revealed until 3/4s into the movie prevents this movie from becoming too cheesy. We don't see what's hunting Arnold and his comrades and it's the engine that drives the film. Acting and dialogue is very 80's style; lots of classic one-liners and tough-guy macho behaviour. We would expect no less, wouldn't we? The action is also what we expect from a film like this: Lots of explosions, flying guerillas and a guy hunting for an invisible Predator in the middle of the jungle with two submachine guns; one in each hand *grin*. You can't go wrong with this one.
Verdict: The typical 80's action movie with that little extra which keeps you at the edge of your seat, at least the first time you see this movie. A big fat explosive 9 outta 10.
