Los Angeles is enduring a heat wave and a crime wave, so the pressure on police officer Michael Harrigan (Danny Glover) to solve a strange string of murders is mounting. Harrigan thinks the culprit can be found among the warring gangs and drug cartels, but FBI Special Agent Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) knows the horrible truth: Their killer is a fearsome extraterrestrial (Kevin Peter Hall) with keen hunting abilities that include superior night vision and the power to make itself invisible.

The players hardly fail the material, but the Jim Thomas-John Thomas screenplay defeats all concerned. Go to Full Review Hugo Davenport Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 1
At first, the film seems no more than an old-fashioned monster-movie... However, there is a more disturbing sub-text, reminiscent of the cinematic aliens born of the Red scare of the Fifties, but rendered here more self-consciously for the Nineties.

Having Glover speak dialogue along the lines of "What the ----?" is like serving caviar on spam. The whole cast is better than "Predator 2" deserves. Go to Full Review Michael MacCambridge Austin American-Statesman Oct 31

Predator 2, like its predecessor, is a slick, competent, well-paced action film that is limited in its effectiveness because it never bothers to flesh out the details of its horrific story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Syed M @ibukhari Dec 12 one of the greatest movies of its time ,, See more Laurian D @Laurian Dec 12 A pretty entertaining, but unnecessary sequel. It has some memorable moments, but it overall reduces the menacing aura of its monster by over exposing it. Definitely worth a watch though. See more andrea c Dec 9 La saga continua con un sequel che però ne disinnesca gli aspetti peculiari che avevano reso iconico il primo capitolo, finendo invece per essere semplicemente uno sci fi di azione con una lotta senza esclusioni di colpi tra il più classico dei poliziotti da cinema, burbero quanto intelligente ed il villain senza scopo al di fuori di fare una strage di umani. Le sequenze di azione riescono ad essere quantomeno interessanti e varie ma nel complesso ogni aspetto del film è inferiore rispetto al suo predecessore; dalle location ai personaggi. Il finale invece è un aspetto positivo, in quanto fornisce un unico tassello in più che vada minimamente a spiegare qualcosa del celebre "Predator" e della sua razza. See more Mo A @MoFlow Dec 5 As an avid sci-fi / thriller fan, this movie is done very incredibly and I don't understand the low ratings! Watch it, it's a fun classic and add a new elements from predecessor!
