Review of Predator (1987) by Mloy X — 02 Dec 2012
"If it bleeds, we can kill it.".
--- Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
I understand that this film has a sort of cult following and I guess I'm late to the party but I thought this ind of sucked. Ok, maybe not completely suck but all the earlier part of the film was God-awful: the acting was either campy or the actors really hammed it up, the characters were one-dimension, the plot was shallow, if not a little ridiculous. The final few minutes of the film where Arnold figures out that the predator can't see him when he's covered with mud and proceeds to set the trap for it until the end was the only half-way enjoyable part of the film..... I guess, had I seen it when it came out, maybe it would have seem cooler to me, but it honestly doesn't hold up unfortunately. :(.
