Carl Weathers: The Next Governor of Louisiana

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2003)

Laugh now, but this movie has the distinction as being the only one to feature two future U.S. Governors as actors. First, Jesse Ventura in Minnesota, now Arnold Scharzenegger in California. If Elpidia Carrillo wasn't born in Mexico, she could be the first woman president of the USA! Anyway, the original "Predator" is a pretty standard film for Schwarzenegger and McTiernan. A lot of stuff gets blow'd up real good, and and there is plenty of carnage. Better than "Collateral Damage" or "The 13th Warrior", but not nearly as good as "The Terminator" or "Die Hard". Fans won't be disappointed, all others should look for ironic humor in its over-the-top violence or stay away.
