Predators (MOVIE / 2010)Predators is a film that does to Predator (1987) what Aliens did to Alien, takes a thriller where you don't see much of the antagonist and follows up with a visceral action flick. And it works. It really works, in fact this movie even feels like it could have been released a few years after the original. Fortunately the makers of this film decided to match the R rating of the original, not that I didn't enjoy the PG-13 AVP films of recent years, this film shows you why you should fear these guys. Adrien Brody delivers a great performance, one you could tell he was having a lot of fun playing, and the rest of the cast works really well. There is one exception to this as Laurence Fishburne makes at best a cameo as a crazy survivor who's in the film for no more than 10 minutes it seems. For a moment I thought the ending my eschew from a true us versus them fight, but the finale delivers a great sequence and leaves this film open for a sequel of it's own. Predators stands apart from other films this summer, and as such may not make the most money but it definitely deserves some attention.
