If it bleeds we can kill it

Predator (1987)

Directed by John McTiernan this film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers. A group of mercenary soldiers are sent into the jungle in central America on a rescue mission but get more than they bargained for.

What plot there is for this film is fairly thin but honestly if you came to this sort of film looking for plot then you are probably in the wrong place anyway. The story works pretty effectively for what it is but does have the odd hole here if you stop and think about what is happening. Some of the special effects, such as the predator vision, have dated but mostly the film holds together as a fun if over the top action film.


3/5
