Predators
Rent & Buy
A group of cold-blooded killers find themselves trapped on an alien planet to be hunted by extraterrestrial Predators.
What critics thought
A passable franchise revival that satisfies as a competent action film but falls well short of recapturing what made the original work. Critics were split roughly down the middle: those who appreciated the return to jungle-hunting basics versus those who found the characters too thin and the tension too slack to justify the nostalgia trip.
“Antal is a good enough action director that some of the combat is pretty exciting.”
A.O. Scott·The New York Times
“When the story relocates to the Fishburne character's grimy, claustrophobic domicile, the movie turns static. The filmmakers may have been going for an Alien industrial-grunge vibe, but the tension just isn't sufficient.”
Michael Phillips·Chicago Tribune
“cardboard clichés lining up for the body count”
