Review – Predator

One of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s better efforts, though I must admit that any high-budget action movie with an underlying anti-hunting message is bound to appeal to me (Surviving the Game being a noteworthy exception to this rule). Here we have The Most Dangerous Game with a twist: the human-hunting antagonist is an alien, presumably a creature from an extraterrestrial race advanced as far beyond humanity as we are above the beasts of the field that we hunt for our amusement. Though the macho posturing gets more than a little thick in places, the plot keeps moving and the action sequences are well directed. Worth seeing
