This is a terrible poster. It looks like it was designed by a 9th grader. But that's okay, because said 9th grader probably loved this movie.Your inner 9th grader will love it too, if you let it.
Set as a direct sequel (albeit almost 30 years later) to the original Predator, eight strangers find themselves hurtling though the air towards a jungle. The only thing they seem to have in common is that, in their real lives, they are surrounded by death. Soldiers, convicts, cartel enforcers, and killers all, they must find a way to band together if they are to survive being stalked by the universe's greatest big game hunters.
I had very low expectations going into this so I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'm not going to say it was the greatest action movie I've ever seen but it was entertaining enough in a B-movie way. Plus, it has Walton Goggins AND Danny Trejo, which is just amazing. Also, pleased to see Topher Grace in something. Anything. I found his character hilarious. Of course, I expect entertainment from Robert Rodriguez. Hell, I'm a little surprised Tom Savini wasn't in there somewhere.
It was a little weird to see Adrian Brody in a straight-up action role and it kind of looked like he was wearing a foam rubber He-Man muscle suit. Very at odds with his face. I think the best he's ever looked was in King Kong, but that's me. That's pretty much my only criticism, though. I don't know that it's a must-buy but if some one gave it to me, I wouldn't immediately trade it in.
