One of the best films from the 80's

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2019)

A crack team of special forces led by Arnold Schwarzenegger are dropped off in the Central American jungle on a rescue mission but end up being hunted by an incredible and deadly alien with the ability to become near invisible.
I can remember being blown away by this movie when it was released. Arnie is just superb, he looks and acts the part brilliantly, though he is given a run for his his money in the one-liners by Jesse "I ain't got time to bleed!" Ventura. Carl Weathers, from the Rocky movies, is also great. Predator perfectly blends action with science fiction and horror, and despite what some reviews claim there is plenty of suspense too.Excellent special effects. In the UK this was released uncut on VHS but the early DVD releases are cut. Thankfully later ones are complete.
I do prefer the original Terminator but Predator is classic Arnie and classic action, essential viewing.
