Predators, Winnebago Man & The Girl Who Played With Fire
PREDATORS
I’m sorry, but I don’t share the same enthusiasm that most people have with the Predator re-boot. I mean it’s better than the one with Danny Glover or any of those Alien vs. Predator movies, but it aint as great as a lot of critics and movie-goers are making it out to be. If Predators, sequel to the original, actually had a beginning and a completely re-worked 2nd half, this would’ve actually been a damn good movie. Unfortunately Predators is a kind of a mess. However at times it’s a fun mess (if that makes any sense). The plot is just another re-hashing of the 1920’s short story & film The Most Dangerous Game (humans being hunted like animals in a secluded jungle). We’ve all seen this theme explored before in other movies like; Surviving The Game, Hard Target, Naked Prey and Battle Royale. In this version of Predators, the Aliens are now abducting who they feel are the best killers on planet earth, and dropping them off on their planet so that they can be hunted for sport. The group of abducted killers is pretty similar to any other ragtag group you’d find in a Predator/Leviathan/Aliens-type movie; The white guy who automatically takes charge (played by Adrian Brody doing his best Snake Plisken/Christan Bale Batman voice), The black guy (take a wild guess at how long he lasts), The tough latin chick (played by Sofia Varga. I guess Michelle Rodriguez was busy…), the quiet and mysterious Japanese Yakuza assassin, The Russian guy, The Mexican guy, etc. Once they all realize why they were abducted and whats going on, they join forces to fight the Predators. And just like any other movie of this genre, each member in the group gets taken out one by one (and if you consider that a “spoiler”, name me a Predator movie where that’s never happened before). There’s also a pointless subplot that involves two different Predator species at war with one another. Like I said before the movie is a fun mess at times. So no matter how hard you try to make sense out of stupid parts in the movie, chances are you’ll still enjoy yourself when you see it. You may even find yourself laughing at parts that I’m sure weren’t intended to be funny. There are some nice references to not only the first Predator film, but other classic films ranging from Aliens to Seven Samurai. In fact, I found the best scene in the film to be the one-on-one samurai fight between the Yakuza guy and one of the… Read the rest of this entry »
