Door's Howl - Predators

Synopsis

The movie opens with a fast start and pretty much never slows down. It is a great movie with wonderful throw backs to the original predator with Arnie. The plot and cast are well put together and Adrien Brody does a great job of being the mysterious experienced soldier/killer that we all hope will survive. Not too mention he has clearly been working out - see pic above. Topher Grace (Eric from "That 70's Show") probably gives you the greatest surprise - both in role and plot twist out of the whole movie. Alice Braga, of "I am Legend" fame, provides the female lead and does a great job. Lawrence Fishburne sadly is given a minor cameo, and while his entrance is simply masterful and reminds you of his "Matrix" work, his character is woefully under-scripted for such a talent. The biggest drawback to this movie is the swearing and language. Most of it is completely unnecessary and actually distracts and detracts from the script rather than adding to the characters or story. Clean up the language and you have a great movie, but because of the language it is merely above average.

Score

Predators scores a Crescent Moon - worth howling at, but get ear soap for the language.

Scoring System

Wolves are thought to commonly howl at the moon. So, the better the moon, the greater the howl. Description of scoring system below.

Full Moon - best you can get, must watch and must own
New Moon - great movie, worth seeing and buying
Crescent Moon - average to above average, good to watch, but may want to wait for DVD
Sliver Moon - below average, not worth seeing and only get it on DVD when you have nothing better to do, like having a root canal
Moonless Night -not even worth mentioning - avoid at all costs!
