Review Summary
Deep inside the jungles of a small Central American country (El Salvador?) Dutch (Arnold Schwartznegger) finds himself being hunted by a devastating creature from another planet who collects human skulls as trophies. Dutch and his 6 fellow US soldiars must stop this 'Predator' from hunting them down before they are all trophies on the predators spaceship.
Ian Rodriguez, Resident Scholar

A group of mercinaries is sent to a jungle in to stop a group a gurillas from bringing illegal weapons over the border. Once there the team is then hunted down and killed brutally by a creature called a "Predator". This alien's species goes from planet to planet to hunt the inhabitants and collect trophies (skulls).
Trevor Schmitt, Resident Scholar

Very exciting, sometimes scary, great special effects, and very violent.
Richard, Resident Scholar

A Great action thriller, goes highly recomended to any action-scifi buffs. The movies about a group of military mercinaries who go on a rescue mission, but then become hunted by an alien who has come to this planet to do just that, HUNT! Starring action guru Arnold Schwarzanegger this GREAT action hit is one of a kind. My #8 favorite movie of all time!
David Cortes, Resident Scholar

This is a VERY good movie with lots of action sequences. I wouldn't however, recommend this movie to minors, since there are a few scenes that may be disturbing for younger audiences.
Lee Rollason, Resident Scholar

Arnold is chased by a monster in the "chungle"; then after his expendable buddies are lost, he chases the monster.
