Predator 2 Movie Review

Tough cop Danny Glover takes time away from battling drug dealers to deal with malicious extraterrestrial who exterminated Arnold's band of commandos in the original. Shifting the scene from the Central American jungle to the urban jungle of L.A. is a plus. So are the inspired casting, the inventive effects, and the fast pace. The action is ultraviolent, gory, and illogical but still exciting. The spooky introduction, a long subway sequence, and the big finish are all corkers. Overall, a more-than-worthy sequel.
