After playing straight man to Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, Danny Glover seized this opportunity to play a loose cannon, an unorthodox cop who is always turning his nose up at authority. The setting is Los Angeles in 1997, and Glover can't work out who or what is murdering the city's gangsters, or why sinister government official Gary Busey is so interested. However, it's not long before he realises that the culprit is far from human. The action sequences are ably staged by Blown Away director Stephen Hopkins, but it lacks the sweaty, claustrophobic tension of the Arnold Schwarzenegger original.

Violent and gore-filled, filmed in a frenetic style that soon wearies.

Excellent, definately a classic
For those of you who havent seen the predator, this film will be very new and interesting. It has non stop action, suspense and cool special effects. for those of you who have seen the predator with arnie; you already know what to expect, which i would think makes the film even better.
Amazing effects for its time and the predator is just as impressive as always.
If you want a good film with action, blood, an element of fear then this is definately the film for you. Still a good film all this time since the original! just as good as alien any day!
5 stars! -

Hay it's not all bad!
How do you make a sequel to such an intense, thrilling and action packed movie like Predator? Erm……. I don’t know and sadly neither did director Stephen Hopkins. After looking this guy up on the net I have not heard of many of his films before this. So who chooses the director of Nightmare on Elm Street 5 to make this? John McTiernan’s cracking film was just too hard to follow I suspect even for a great director so they chose a nobody that will take the fall. If only James Cameron was about!
Well all in all I still love this film. It’s got the Predator in fine form but the script and story are just a rehash of the first set in a city.
Considering this was made in 1990 the special effects are pretty good and Danny Glover is pretty tough as the lead. Just done in by a few too many cheese ridden lines that only Schwarzenegger could deliver and actually get away with. Still, all in all a good movie in it’s own right even if it doesn’t live up to the first. -
