From the jungle to the concrete jungle, this is a worthy sequel to the original Predator. More blood, more frights, and a great cast of characters.

Ten years after the events of the first movie, another Predator has come to Los Angeles to seek out dangerous prey, from drug lords to cops. Unlike the first hunter, however, this individual appears to be older, more cunning, more ruthless, and better equipped with more high-tech weaponry. Even with government agents on the creature's trail, it will take the tough-as-nails cop Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) to take down the ultimate hunter.

Undeniably awesome, Predator 2 has the same charm as the first movie while bringing in its own brand of coolness to it. The cast is great. Danny Glover's character doesn't mess around and will stop at nothing until this monster goes down, a worthy successor to Arnold's character Dutch as the film's protagonist. Bill Paxton, who has had his share of Terminator and Alien action, now has deal with the Predator while being the comic relief in this movie. There's a lot of action to keep this movie going, especially the final confrontation that makes up for the one-sided beat-down Arnold gets in the previous film. And who can forget the Alien skull in the Predator's trophy room, which is a wonderful tribute to the Alien vs Predator comics.

Go see this great sequel and enjoy. Just "keep your head" in the game. Hahaha!
