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.

    Well here we go, choose a review of any Arnie film and substitute its name with Predator and you?ll get the plot in a minute. Arnie movies always follow a formulaic plot and this one is no different. Substitute the terrorist, spy, or villain for the alien and you know what you?re in for. But we know when we see Arnie up on the billboard that we are not getting Hamlet, unless you watch ?Last Action Hero?. Here we get more bang for our bucks, big bangs, big guns and big muscles. The jungle scene is overloaded with bullets and gets my ?Gratuitous use of Automatic Weaponry? award for the 1980?s. Enjoy!
