Predators is promoted on Foxtel as the remake of the original Predator. But it is not. It is actually another writer’s take on what should have happened in Predator 2. Interesting.
If you don't know the story, 8 people are dropped into a jungle and have to fight off strange dinosaur-like animals and monsters. That is the whole story.
I was surprised to see that Adrian Brody was the main star. He doesn’t strike me as the action hero type, but he actually was really suited to the role. Tall, deep voice, serious face, and a great, lean bod.
The cast seemed to me to be gratuitously multicultural, but they worked well together.
The highlight of the film for me was Topher Grace, from That Seventies Show. He was sooo good-looking in this! Also, he was the comic relief and had the best lines.
There were great action scenes with believeable settings, realistic character reactions and scary monster faces. The film was full of running, shooting, chasing and getting dirty; good scary fun!
My rating:
****
