Great action/sf title

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2010)

A great action/sf film, undoubtedly one of Arnold best, along with Terminator and Therminator 2.
The story, not very complicated but very intense, takes place in a central American jungle, the perfect surrounding, for a man slaughter. I liked the fact that it wasn't all non-top action, the first half of the film, was observative and miseryous. The scenes were violent but nonetheless enjoyable, at least for me, i didn't feel disgusted in any way.
Another aspect which i've appreciated is that the characters worked as a team, they all analyzed the situation and came to the same conclusion, that they were facing the ultimate killer, and the only way to kill it was to work together, as a team - not your usual sf/action experience.
As i already said the atmosphere of this title was very special, very negative, it inspired death, and that was of particular interest for me, cause I prefer fear inducing atmosphere rather than blood and gore, when it comes my perfect horror/sf/action experience.
As far as Arnold performance was concerned, he genuinely, succeeded in showing what I never thought possible, especially from an actor well-known for his roles as a natural hero : fear, or better said panic.
All in all it was a great film to watch, I liked it in almost every aspect, because it was frightening without lacking intelligence and creativity. And that is quite an outstanding accomplishment. I rate it **** out of ****** (8/10)
