A re-watchable action flick that doesn't try to be something it isn't

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

If you're looking for a drama that makes an important social statement, just keep looking because you won't find it with 1987's Predator. What you will find, however is a winning combination of action, great characters, memorable quotes, guns, blood, and loads of testosterone. To this day, it remains Arnold Schwarzenegger's best action film outside of the Terminator movies.
The great thing about Predator is how easy it is to re-watch. The pace is fast, and the acting is outstanding. Sure, there's plenty of "tough guys showing off" spots, but they don't detract from the enjoyment in the least.
You can probably pick up the DVD version relatively cheap now, and I hope that a special edition version is in the works because I'd love to see how it was made and hear comments from the film's stars and director John McTiernan.
