watch ` predator and which be one of arnold schwarzenegger best action movie and it become obvious why arnold recent return to action ( ` end of day and ` the sixth day ) have all tank at the box office . for some reason and arnold chosen to play men with a dark past in his recent film and men with a complex background . . . men with laughably bad backstories . his great character such a dutch schaeffer in ` predator have no background . it not necessary . the second arnold step onscreen and you know it time for blood and bullet and plain and simple . not every moviegoer cup of tea and to be sure and but it work . unlike ` end of day or ` the sixth day and classic schwarzenegger action film like ` predator never insult the audience by attempt to explain the often threadbare plot . predator be kind of a zen philosophy action film the violence and cheesy one liner just happen . ` predator be a fairly simple story while it essentially a sci fi version of ` the most dangerous game . a group of american soldier and lead by dutch ( schwarzenegger ) and his rival dillon ( carl weather ) and lead a full blown assault on a group of south american revolutionary . carnage ensues . after wipe out say revolutionary and an alien creature arm to the teeth with high power weaponry the predator assault the american soldier . more carnage ensues . hey and it not exactly shakespeare and but thoughtful and well write action movie aren not exactly common . ` predator work a an action movie and a a darn good one because it keep simple ( thus minimize the plot hole and the head scratch moment ) and it maintain a high level of excitement and action and and tension and and it cool . schwarzenegger be large than life a dutch and pure swagger testosterone at it best . jesse ` the body rule a blaine and carl weather be icily cool a dillon . . . and so on and so on . enough sarcastic and macho one liner and brutal firepower fill the movie to make it a male adolescent snapshot of tough guy heaven . the predator look wicked a well stan winston outdo himself and a the predator do look and move like a vicious be from another world and and not just some stunt guy in a rubber suit . the direction by john mctiernan add the final piece to the puzzle while the cinematography of the jungle be appropriately hot and steamy and and claustrophobic and and the quick pacing of the film move rapid fire between all out action and the tension of hunt one prey . . . or be hunt . everything add up to a simple and streamline and first rate action movie . again and not the most intelligent film ever make and but ` predator be still quite good it probably schwarzenegger best pure action movie . ( not his best movie overall and though while that honor belongs to the excellent ` kindergarten cop . ) ` predator be a lean and mean and intense action flick from start to finish . grade represent b .
