Amazon.com essential video
Rambo meets Alien in this terrific science-fiction thriller from 1987, directed by John McTiernan just a year before Die Hard made him Hollywood's most sought-after director of action-packed blockbusters. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite squad of U.S. Army commandos to a remote region of South American jungle, where they've been assigned to search for South American officials who've been kidnapped by terrorists. Instead they find a bunch of skinned corpses hanging from the trees and realize that they're now facing a mysterious and much deadlier threat. As the squad is picked off one by one, Arnold finds himself pitted against a hideous alien creature that's heavily armed and wearing a spacesuit enabling the creature to render itself invisible. The title says it all in describing the relentless, escalating action that follows, maintained by McTiernan with an abundance of visual flair. The film's special effects are still impressive, and stunning locations in the Mexican jungles create a combined atmosphere of verdant beauty and imminent danger. The plot doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, but the movie's so exciting and tightly paced that its weaknesses seem irrelevant. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews

Don't see what all the fuss is about
Grown men running around in the jungle. That's really all there there is to this movie. I love the alien and alien vs. predator series put I really never cared for the original predators. As a matter of fact only give it three stars because everything else from the Predator universe is great. If not, I probably would have given it a one, or a two star review. Like most people say it really is Rambo meets Alien in the jungle, but to me it has no soul, no depth to the movie like the first two Alien movies. Those movies I'll always remember, but the characters in Predator are pretty two dimensional. Yes there's a ton, if not a truckload of action, but that's really all. Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie are all like that. The dialogue is also terrible, and there all trying way to hard to not sound like 10 year olds. I know most people love this movie and think of it as an instant classic, but it just doesn't click with with me. It's also not scary, or truly suspensful.In the end, the whole movie tries to hard. I do recommend the Predator comics though. They are waaaay better than the movies. D+

bad transfer
Just get the regular DVD on this one. i didn't see anything that really stood out in the transfer. and the audio needs to be remastered.

Quality Cheese
This is probably my favorite, over-the-top, action movie. It has likable characters, memorably cheesy quotes (i.e., "I ain't got time to bleed"), and a high body count. This movie is alot of fun. As one reviewer described it: "superior mindless trash."
