Predator | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Brothers Jim and John Thomas wrote what would become their signature screenplay. Their cohesive blend of straight action, survival elements, and sci-fi thrills inject “Predator” with a cool and unique identity.

Along with Alien, this story is not that much different from the B-movies of old. The difference is its 20th Century Fox budget.

It's arguably one of the emptiest, feeblest, most derivative scripts ever made as a major studio movie. There's no need to do a Mad magazine movie parody of this; it's already on the screen.

Although it could stand to lose a few pounds from its mid-section, Predator benefits greatly from a strong cast and an exceptional monster.

The emotional and physical vulnerability that Predator imposes on Schwarzenegger make this easily his best film of an often impressive round of muss-'em-up thrillers.
