Predator Movie Review

Schwarzenegger leads a team of soldier-of-fortune types with big muscles and big weapons into the Central American jungles to rescue hostages. They encounter an alien force that attacks them one by one. Soon it's just Arnold and the Beast. Yes, it's all just as silly as it can be, but some really inventive special effects and a break-neck pace make this one loads of fun. It's a pivotal film for both its star and director John McTiernan. Followed by a sequel.
