Frat Boy At the Movies: Predators
on July 10, 2010 at 2:09 amMy expectations for the new Predators movie was not good. I always felt the Predator franchise had languished since last Danny Glover kicked ass back in Predator 2. And Adrian Brody as an action star? I just couldn’t see it.
How wrong I was. Predators kicks some pretty major ass. Although 2 is still my favorite, this comes in a close second. The premise is simple: Brody and a bunch of badasses are dropped on a jungle world where the predators can hunt them. In the line up is a convict, a death squad leader, a sniper, a Yakuza, a Russian soldier and, for some reason, Topher Grace as “the doctor”.
Without giving too much away, there are many twists and turns as the movie plays out. Lawrence Fishburn has a great character and the Yakuza has an awesome fight scene. The ending is almost as solid and bleak as 2, but sadly doesn’t have that last killer Glover line.
It’s totally worth seeing and won’t insult your intelligence. The Missus was unimpressed by the movie, but she wasn’t scared out of her mind by it either. Let’s face it, this is no chick flick.
I give Predators 7.5 keggers out of 10. Go see it bros. It kicks ass!
