First, it stars Adrien Brody, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Oleg Taktarov, Topher Grace and cameo by Laurence Fishburne. Second point to note is that the hype around the movie was just a hype. I find that the film did not live up to my expectations. So much was expected from this one as it was advertised as the original sequel from the Predator part one. And finally the third point is that the fight sequences lacked the 'oomph!' factor. The absence of catchy music was missing. Just the predator growl was not enough.
The gist of the movie is that a group of trained warriors were brought to a unknown place and were hunted by the predators in a game. Each warrior falls from the sky, it is during the fall that they woke up to their senses, into this unknown place. They are then picked off one by one, the same way as all predator series. The setting and the shooting location are excellent. The location is the same area as Valhalla Rising movie ( exception– this movie is understandable than that one). Laurence Fishburne has a cameo role only, maybe because he is more distracted by what is happening in his daughter's life.
A satisfactory weekend watch but don't raise your expectations. My personal rating is 2.5 out of 5…
