A quality Schwarzenegger flick

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2000)

John McTiernan's (first real film) Predator is quite a quality action flick that is a lot like James Francis Cameron's Aliens (though Aliens and Predator have little to do with each other besides being outer space) by having a story that might not be the greatest, but when the action starts it is a grabber. Arnold and his team go into the jungle in this film as hired by USA and find themselves in the midst of beastly mayhem. Quite a thriller indeed, and one of Arnold's better popcorn flicks. Jesse "The Body" Ventura stands out as a soldier with little patience for blood shed. A-
