If it makes money we can franchise it

Predator 2 (1990)

Directed by Stephen Hopkins this film stars Danny Glover, Kevin Peter Hall, Gary Busey, Maria Conchita Alonso and Bill Paxton. Take a drug war in LA, add in an angry policeman with a problem taking orders and a killer alien.

This film mixes together clichés and sprinkles the title character on top to give us an action film lacking originality that fails to live up to it's predecessor. The script lacks the personality of the original film, goes on far too long and has no real depth to it. Switching to an urban setting does the franchise no favours in my opinion and some of the drug gangs are stereotypes bordering on offensive.


2/5
