1.5/5
"The scariest thing about Predator is that its lead actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is currently serving as governor of California."  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

"Even with the rise of the governator, the complicated case made by Predator -- against mainstream movie violence, CIA shenanigans and U.S. imperialism -- perseveres."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2.5/4
"...never quite justifies it's cult status."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C
"An unpleasant action thriller that's about as thrilling as watching a fixed fight in the pro wrestling circuit."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz
