A covert action masterpiece at the top of its genre

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2015)

What a pivotal film for me. The cast (although excellent themselves) are almost secondary to the excellent cinematography of Don McAlpine, the hauntingly apt sound track from Alan Silvestri, and the masterful direction of John McTiernan.
With a plethora of memorable lines, "If it bleeds, we can kill it", "Get to the Chopper!", "I ain't got time to bleed"...and a macho kick ass cast featuring Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, Carl Weathers and Arnie...but it's so much more than that. It's clever, with a great tempo, a thrilling and suspense filled storyline, and an enthralling ride through the Jungle.
Predator stands alone in its genre. A worthy 10/10 from me. This film still holds up today, almost 30 years on.
