Nail-bitIng science fiction/thriller picture that packs action-packed from start to finish
30 June 2018
Good film , and , nowadays , considered to be a masterpiece of the action/SciFi genre. This is first and best Predator movie in which Arnold leads a team of CIA hired mercenaries into the Central American Jungles . Moving and extremely violent movie with plenty of chills , thrills and resulting to be very entertaining. It deals with a group of elite Mercenaries to carry out a dangerous mission in the Central American jungles . But they are hunted by a relentless alíen race, here called Predator. As they encounter an alíen force that begins to attack one by one . As extraterrestrial dispatches human beings before the breathtaking final Duel.

Action movie told in terms of jungle warfare in which a misfit and motley bunch formed by strange roles battle a malicious and ominious extraterrestrial force . The plot is plain and simple, as an expert squadron has to confront nearly invisible alien , even over an eight-foot-tall wielding an armoury of sophisticated weapons tear apart . The ending part is particularly exciting and suspenseful , though it makes not great sense .The result is throughly violent but undenieably thrilling action movie with a decent cast headed by the great Arnold Swarzanegger supported by an acceptable secondary cast such as Carl Weathers , Jesse Ventura , Bill Duke , Sonny Landham and R.G.Armstrong . And Elpidia Carrillo , she was first brunette actress who appears in Predador series, and following Maria Concha Alonso and Sonia Braga.

Evocative and atmospheric cinematography by Donald McAlpine, showing splendidly the lush jungle . Stirring musical score , today a classy soundtrack, by Alan Silvestri, composed by synthesizer.The motion picture was stunningly directed by John MacTiernan. He is a good filmmaker , though the present-day is retired, and known for directing high-energy, violent action adventures and powerful thrillers such as Die hard, Die hard with a vengeance , 13 warrior, The hunt for Red october, The Last great hero, Rolllerball , Nomads , among others.

This Predator has got several sequels , remakes and spin-off , such as : 1990 Predador 2 in which the Alíen has inexplicably returned to L.A., being directed by Stephen Hopking with Danny Glover, Maria Concha Alonso , Ruben Blake, Bill Paxton, Gary Busey.
