Predators

The new Predators starts out with the adrenaline levels cranked up to 11 as the hero of the story, Royce (Adrien Brody) wakes up in free fall wearing a parachute that he can’t get to open until its almost too late. Other bodies – and other things – start dropping out of the sky and Royce soon finds himself the leader of a ragtag group of mercenaries ready to hunt down whoever dropped them from the sky in the first place. Fans who have been waiting almost a quarter century for a good Predator movie will be delighted with what director Nimród Antal and his cast have done with this rebooted version of the franchise; what’s even better, though, is that they’ve created a movie that will be just as exciting for a new generation of Predator fans as it was for those who were there back in 1987 when Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) first declared, ‘If it bleeds, we can kill it.’
