A action film as it should be

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2005)

This film with Schwarzenegger in its heydays, is an muscled packed action film just the way I like it.
Director Mctiernan (Die Hard) does an excellent job. The alien Predator is slowly introduced and leaves enough questions to keep the viewer excited after the movie is over. And it is great material for the second movie. The nice thing is also that all the characters are really something. A bit fucked up, but this is cool. They are also slowly introduced and it is cool to watch at the muscled guys shooting and raving at something they can't see.
It was a good choice not to reveal the Predator too soon. It keeps the tension high. The role of Schwarzenegger is easy concerning the acting, but he is one of those guys who have an astonishing charisma on screen. The ending is exciting and letting Dutch think it is over and then see a comeback from the Predator is well done as well as the scenes where the predator sneaks up behind Arnold without noticing him.
This is a movie with everything in it. When I was young I just loved everything but seeing at a some later age this movie stills is wonderful! What a great movie this is! A classic!
