Predators - Movie review

What's it about:



What's hot: Action and suspense are the make or break ingredients in this dish. Even though it's low on intrigue the film offers pure cheese in the form of dim witted yet entertaining fight scenes. The creatures look tormenting enough to pass off as the bad guys. Laurence Fishburne pops up in an interesting cameo outshining the entire cast. Alice Braga feels like the only actor in the ensemble who's asked questions before signing the contract. Her character stands out among the supporting caricatures.u00a0

What's not: Despite the nostalgia, the latest offering does nothing more than reinforcing why it's the least successful movie enterprise of all time. Problem begins early on. Just when the tension starts to settle in, actors start popping out of nowhere saying ridiculous dialogues. Why are they together? How have their destinies been tied up? No one bothers to explain. Even when the pieces start falling together, it doesn't make enough sense. Casting is a real bummer. Despite the number of bench presses and crunches he must have done, Adrien Brody stands out like a sore thumb. Unfortunately the actor is still remembered for his infamous lip lock with Halle Berry at the Academy Awards, rather than the film he won the award for. Special effects are above average but lack finesse. When the best moment of the film is an ode to the first (Alice talking about Arnold), you know how it's going to end up!

What to do: It's time to put these monsters to rest. Predators is the final nail in the coffin for the series.
