Predators is a welcome dose of escapism in this summer of effects-heavy stinkers. The movie is set in the present day, decades after an elite group of special forces encountered a "thing" in the jungle - the very "thing" that Arnold Schwarzenegger beat in the first Predator flick.
Producer Robert Rodriguez has said the movie's name is a callback to Aliens, suggesting that it's the second in the series - so forget about all those other lame sequels.
The movie starts with our hero, Royce (Adrien Brody), being dropped from the sky into a jungle, and doesn't let up until the end. Joining Royce (whose name isn't revealed until the end) are a bunch of professional killers - sniper, Mexican drug cartel enforcer, Yakuza member, death row inmate, Sierra Leone death squad member - and a doctor (Topher Grace). The group bands together in an attempt to survive their time in the jungle, which turns out to be a jungle on another planet full of scary Predator aliens (cousins of the creature for 1987's "Predator").
