At last, a credible sequel to Predator, the 1987 movie. Unlike most sequels, this movie does justice to the original. In some respects it even surpasses the original, which is saying a lot as the original was a great movie. Adrien Brody is outstanding as a self-styled leader of a group of people literally thrown together to battle forces unknown to them but known to the audience. What makes the story particularly intense is wondering if they will figure out a way to escape. The movie features strong acting, an action-packed story, snappy dialog, good character development and a surprisingly intense performance by Topher Grace. Unlike the previous sequels in this series, this movie maintains its artistic integrity, meaning that it avoids becoming campy or a shameless spin off of the original. This movie is proof that when it wants to, Hollywood can produce a credible sequel without making it seem like a phony, last-minute second-rate job, which means there's still hope.
