some will tell you predator be another dumb 80 action flick . it not . it very different from anything else arnold schwarzenegger have star in . first of all it begin a a standard military war film and set up the plot for about 45 minute . it then morph into a suspense thriller or sci fi film represent like some sort of agatha christie novel meeting rambo via alien . it quite intelligent and thrill and not reveal the predator creature fully until the very end . part of the reason this film work and and the sequel do not ( a successfully anyway ) and be the level of suspense and mystery surround the predator . arnold schwarzenegger deliver one of his best performance a dutch . grant and he isn not require to do much more than shed his upper body clothing and look rip and but he _does_ do more than that i felt sympathy for dutch and he seem like a realistic character and and i forget that i be watch arnold schwarzenegger . he have a few good one liner ( stick around . be the cream of the crop along with knock knock . ) but especially later in the film and his confidence stumble and he turn into the flip side of the typical arnold schwarzenegger action hero . the sequel work a a comic book style creature feature but the original predator be a much good film than most people give it credit for and be the rare smart action film that be solidly construct and worth watch far more than just once .
