Predator

In the remote jungle of a Central American country, an elite group of commandos led by Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), embarks on a CIA mission to clear out a guerrilla stronghold and rescue the remaining hostages. However, the hunters become the hunted when a highly intelligent, otherwordly being slowly and methodically starts killing off members of Dutch's team. Possessing a chameleonlike camouflaging ability and a deadly alien arsenal, the creature tracks down the soldiers one by one. Director John McTiernan's film is a thrilling high-action flick, filled with great one-liners (courtesy of Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and the rest of the cast) and excellent special effects.

    Nothing like it has ever been on earth before

    Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Duke, Elpidia Carrillo, Jesse Ventura, R.G. Armstrong, Kevin Peter Hall, Carl Weathers, Sonny Landham

    Directed by: John McTiernan

    Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this blockbuster movie. He plays Major 'Dutch' Schaeffer, he and his team are recruited by the CIA. Their mission: to rescue hostages from a helicopter crash deep in the South American jungle infested with Guerilla soldiers. Their target turns out not to be hostile soldiers at all, but just one - and he is not of this world!

    Spectacular stunts and special effects combined with a great story make this one of Schwarzeneggers best movies.

    a classic film

    Although the effects seem outdated in the digital age we now live in this film is still worth a watch, Arnie is a strange casting choice but gives a decent performance against the super advanced predators. This classic film is not for people who enjoy the up to date effects as the predator effects are at times laughable but anyone mature enough to see past this should give it a chance.
