Absolutely thrilling, a must see

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 1999)

I have never been a fan of action flicks, though The Predator stands above the rest. It builds suspense perfectly, leading to an awesome battle between Arnie and the 'unmasked' Predator (who is damn scary).
The direction is exceptional, and the use of the jungle used brilliantly. This isn't a conventional action movie, but a chilling and frightening romp through thick foliage and intense heat. Predator II was most dissapointing, almost absolutely shocking. But this film remains with me to this day.
One of my favourite movies of all time, and I know others who strongly agree. I can not pin point exactly what makes this film so good, maybe it is just the setting and the cast. Though trust me, rent or even buy yourself a copy to see for you self. Wait for the part where he hides behind some roots covered in mud... very exciting, very heart thumping.
