Predators (2010) 8/10

Starring : Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace
Director : Nimrod Antal
Running Time : 107 mins

A disparate group of mercenaries find themselves stranded in a strange jungle with no idea how they got there. As they travel further into the jungle they soon discover that they are in fact on an alien planet and that they are being hunted down by strange creatures that have the ability to turn invisible.

In spite of having read some pretty bad press about this unnecessary sequel, coupled with the fact that I thought the last Predator movie (AVP2) was awful, I actually found myself enjoying this action adventure. It is far more like the original 1987 movie than any of the follow ups, although the layout is a little like Saw in my opinion – the cast wake up somewhere and don’t know who to trust – but it works reasonably well, and in spite of the largely B movie cast this was actually well acted out and made for some gripping viewing.
