Monstrous predators versus an alien...

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2014)

John McTiernan has directed two of my all-time favorite action movies: THE 13th WARRIOR and PREDATOR (DIE HARD is fun, but not one of my top 100). PREDATOR boasts one of the most monstrous creatures to ever appear in a Fright Film- massive and mindless and quite clearly a killing machine that would just as soon KILL you as LOOK at you. I'm referring, of course, to Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Yahahaha. Just joshin' ya.) Like the Sword and Sandal movies of Old, PREDATOR features a bunch of muscle-bound men versus an even larger Monster. Testosterone doth ooze from the very pores of the players as they glisten their way through the jungle to their varied Ends. The title Monster himself is one of the Great Ones, and director McTiernan makes excellent use of him/it. Beautifully shot, with some truly great action scenes. What MORE could one ask for?
