Rating: 5/5 --
Pure action cinema at its most efficient and charmingly unpretentious, Predator remains a lean masterpiece over three decades on.

Flickering Myth
A whole mess of talent working at the top of their games in front of and behind the camera came together at the perfect times in their careers to create the lightning in a bottle that is Predator.

4 stars out of 5 -- Schwarzenegger plays Dutch, an alpha-warrior called in, along with a roistering band of brothers, when the government claim they need him and his crew to rescue some hostages from the jungle.

One of the most energetic and intense action films of the 1980s.

Guardian
Predator does not just fuse different generic elements, it also plays on Schwarzenegger's star image, in particular by reversing his role in The Terminator by casting him as the human in conflict with the alien robot.

Product Description:
Sent to eliminate a gun-running camp in Central America, United States Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his commandos get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a mysterious assassin. As members of their unit begin to disappear, Dutch, Dillon (Carl Weathers), and Blain (Jesse Ventura) conclude that whatever is hunting them is not of this earth. Every attempt at a tactical defense is a defeated for Dutch and company and it is only in the last stretch of their race to safety that their suspicions are confirmed and they encounter the alien nimrod face to face.
A summer box office smash, 1987's PREDATOR re-ignited an old trend of movies depicting aliens invading earth that began decades earlier with films like WAR OF THE WORLDS and INVADERS FROM MARS. McTiernan does a miraculous job of directing the "invisible" Predator. Furthermore, the special effects, which are stunningly subtle and never boisterous, make PREDATOR a strikingly contemporary sci-fi effort even amid today's techno-thrillers.
