Review of Predator 2 (1990) by Brad G — 08 Jul 2010
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Is it as awesome and badass as the original film? No. It is not. But I would say that this film feels dirtier and nastier than the original film. The gore is a little more upsetting.
And the setting was relatively uneasy at the time. Set in the far future of 1997, Los Angeles is Hell on Earth as two blood crazed gangs tear each other apart and the cops get mowed down in the crossfire.
Smog is choking the citizens. The Heat is suffocating. And in this environment The Predator hunts the concrete jungle. I love the Cops and the Feds! Danny Glover, Ruben Blades, Bill Paxton, Maria Conchita Alonso, Robert Davi, Kent McCord, Gary Busey, Adam Baldwin.
That is such a gonzo cast! I love Morton Downey Jrâ??s disgusting jackhole reporter Anthony Pope! And I love the mythology building. All the new Predator gadgets. The crazy ship design. The family. Sure, it gets silly but if you can forgive the clichés then youâ??ll fall in love.
