Lean 'n mean sci-fi action

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2014)

Boy, if this isn't a can't-lose proposition: take an (almost) all-male cast of commando badasses - plus Shane Black and his awesomely awful jokes - throw 'em in a jungle with a murderous alien hunter and put John McTiernan in the director's chair? Win-win, that one. PREDATOR is a wicked mix of Rambo artillery, inventive sci-fi and blockbuster action that still holds today. It's tightly paced, the cast all have great macho personality, and when an exhausted Schwarzenegger flies out on that chopper, you feel like you've just seen something special. It's one of those movies you just have to sit down and watch if it's on cable.
8/10
