...is left in mouth after viewing this movie. I absolutely love the original "Predator". This sequel, while offering some good action sequences, is just too bogged down with the cliched squabbling over jurisdiction by the local cops and federal officers (Not to mention, the police characters were silly and cliched to the point where I was shaking my head in disbelief).
However, the film shines when the creature is on screen. The monster is intrinsically fascinating. Watching him operate and hunt should be more the focus of the movie. We've all seen countless boring good cop/bad fed movies. With a premise as interesting as the Predator in the big city, one would think the writers would make the creature the star of the film instead of silly police politics. This movie lacks the correct focus.
Final rating: 6/10. My mind reels with all these thoughts of wasted potential.
