I thought, wow, this film is getting ready to go somewhere, but he just decided to take a nap and then slipped out the back and started a fire around the party to steal their weapons. The highlight of the film was when Laurence Fishburne materialized in an Alien invisibility suit. The most disappointing thing about the film was that the trailer leads you into thinking that their were perhaps more alien hunters by showing Adrian Brody being targeted by a large number of 3 point laser cannons when, in the film it only shows about two. Edwin (Topher Grace), given the rest have tasted real life action in the killing fields, now brought by alien abduction to a planet whose atmosphere is almost identical to Earth, for a game of cat and mouse to test their survival skills. This of course irks Isabelle (Alice Braga), the female soldier from Israel who holds a few secrets of her own, and others from the likes of the Chechnyan soldier Nicolai (Oleg Taktarov) to the odd Dr. Leading the team is Adrien Brody, who as soldier of fortune, decides early on to be a loner, so he's not going to forge any emotional bonds with anyone, being quite dogged and determined to leave the gamin g planet alive on his own. Not to mention the fowl language and vulgarity from the character labeled as the death row inmate who said that he couldn't wait to get "coked up and rape some women". The dialogue was so simple and choppy, it didn't make much sense. My major complaint about this film was the ridiculous dialogue and the careless handling of the development of the characters in the film. I would have probably walked out after the first 45 minutes. I'm so glad that I didn't actually spend money on this in the theater. Without further ado, I'll have to say that I was quite disappointed with this film. Like why does one guy get no weapons, another gets only a knife, another gets a handgun, and the other five have multiple knives, handguns, and machine guns apiece? Read full reviewĬould Have Been 100 Times Better But Failed to Impress! PREDATORS is an exciting action adventure movie if you don't think too much about some odd details. In fiction, we want to believe that showing compassion and humanity will earn us victory over evil in real life, as in PREDATORS, it rarely works that way. This is realistic (if a movie about vicious aliens can be called realistic) however, it's somewhat disturbing. He leaves his comrades behind - multiple times! Even more unsettling, characters who do go back for helpless comrades tend to regret it. Adrien Brody, who plays the soldier of fortune who becomes the leader of the group, is NOT a very nice person. Well, PREDATORS is NOT like that! The people who live the longest are not necessarily the biggest names at the box office. The big star is also too good to be true if he's a convict, he was wrongly convicted if he has killed in the past, he suddenly reforms. The problem with most such films is that there is one big star who's the obvious survivor, and the rest are so evil or so forgettable that you don't care if they live or die. Put a bunch of people in a hostile environment where they have to kill or be killed, then sit back and see who lasts the longest.
