[DVD Review] Predator 2

16 June 2009 12:24 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Taking the fight from one jungle to another, Predator 2 releases its grip on Dutch and begins a new hunt for Lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) in the streets of a semi-futuristic Los Angeles. While the original got by on its barebones approach to hunter versus the hunted, Predator 2 receives a budgetary boost and takes out all the stops. Unfortunately, the ability to do more seems to have stripped the story of the cleverness and wit of the original. Gone are the brilliant days of Dutch slathering himself in mud to hide himself from the heat-seeking Predator; in their place is an over-produced series of explosions and special effects which take away from the rustic charm the series created with the first installment. However, while Predator 2 may deny its primitive origins, it does do its part to further the Predator mythology.
