10SR: Predators

August 8 2010 (1 year ago)

The 10 second review: because nobody has time to read about Adrian Brody.

plot predators game reserve – drop in hard guys (literally)
good because it’s a return to authentic suspense
bad because it’s visually dull
and? don’t mess with Brody!

verdict: 6 / 10 – predictable but entertaining, could have been worse

    Visually dull? They had the original 70′s Predator in full colour, new shiny bad ones with alien teeth and explosions left right and centre. Was a return to the proper original jump-in-your-seat scariness and frankly Brody was kick-ass.

    PS – LeeLoo is a brunette in the next one, does she have the same effect without the day-glo hair??

    Just because there was some cool new predators and lots of things getting blown up doesn’t make it visually engaging.

    Why do we not see more people with day-glo hair, it obviously works…?
