PREDATORS (2010)






It took about 20 years to re-turn on the Predator is arguably is one of the characters in the film's most famous. Predators itself is a continuation of the Predator (1987), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Predator 2 (1990). Before starting the action in this latest film, Predator had also matched with the Alien in Alien vs. Predator which I think is very disappointing. Robert Rodriguez is acting as producer seems to be interested to continue this franchise. Sitting on the bench director is producing director Kontroll, Vacancy and Armored, Nimrod Antal, while his cast ranks pretty promising because the presence of Adrien Brody and Topher Grace.


The movie opens with great promise when eight people who did not know each other skydiving from a plane and landed in a forest that was completely foreign to them. The eight men were: Royce (Adrien Brody), a professional mercenary, Isabelle (Alice Braga), a sniper who had just returned from Israel, Edwin (Topher Grace), a doctor, Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), Russian army, Hanzo (Louis Ozawa Changchien), Yazuka a quiet, Stans (Walton Goggins), FBI fugitive convict, Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), a former militant RUF from Sierra Leone and Chucillo (Danny Trejo), a member of Mexico's drug cartels. They then realized that the forests are located far from the earth, it just means now they are on another planet. In an effort to escape the seemingly endless forests, they must face a brutal and predatory creatures without compassion.


I was initially quite dubious of this film, especially when I remember how bad the quality of the Alien vs. Predator. Even I personally have not witnessed two prekuelnya, only ever seen it briefly on a television screen. But the Predators were beyond my expectations, this film is so gripping, exciting and full of twist. Its opening scene alone is promising and this continues until the end of the movie. The plot is so fast that not seem boring. Viewers were treated to a variety of exciting action scenes and stories that are not easily guessed. Really exciting. The script itself is actually indifferent and more we encounter in class B action movie, but screenwriters team consisting of Michael Finch and Alex Litvak successfully mixes it so well that Predators look a little classy. Display its special effects were awesome. To be sure, Predators fans will not be disappointed by it because the view remain faithful as the original Predator.
Salute to Adrien Brody who appear to be different here. Brody who usually looks calm turned into a brutal, even his physical appearance was arguably changed drastically. Viewers are initially unsure of the placement Brody as the main character will be surprised. Not unexpectedly he can play well in the action genre. Royce described as a tough character, brutal and selfish tend smoothly played by Brody. Similarly, Topher Grace who plays doctor with a mysterious past. Occasionally look cute, but at other times to be suspicious at once sucks. Rows of cast others did not show an outstanding performance, casual.
As a film, Predators can be quite successful because it manages to present an entertaining spectacle. In this film the audience will be brought in a gripping adventure, fun and full of surprises. Maybe for the audience who does not like action movies Predators will feel boring and annoying, but this movie is like a paradise for lovers of action films and thrillers.
