Powerful Picture

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2013)

This is great looking film and that's only the least of it. It delivers a tension filled manhunt in a dense and forbidden jungle setting that is an ominous outing for the rescue mission gone bad. Along with the stunning cinematography there is an outstanding music and soundtrack to accompany this alien visitor that has become a cultural icon.
After a chilling setup the movie delivers a rousing adrenaline rush battle. The eerie tone and galvanic gore are Horror Movie ingredients and are combined with Military Action, a Sci-Fi creature and narrative, and twisting Suspense to make this a most powerful picture with compounds of many exciting entertainments.
This is Arnold's best film and he has a good crew along for the thrill ride. Rarely are so many elements of lesser films brought together to create a hybrid of highly stylized sensations. This is one of the best and is a non-stop journey elsewhere, providing some highly charged chills framed in an artful environment unleashing a violent who is hunting who in this "most dangerous game".
