Predators

Predators opens with a man in free fall, his parachute opening just in time to save him from a messy landing, and continues in a similarly frenetic vein thereafter. The man is Adrien Brody, convincing (against the odds) as an amoral mercenary - and he quickly links up with the sorts of variations on the 'human predator' type you might expect in a movie like this (a Chechnyan soldier, a member of the yakuza, an Sierra Leone death squad-er, Danny Trejo, etc) as they band together in an effort to survive the game preserve into which they've been dropped, hunted by Predators. I have a big soft spot for the original Predator, and this one's not a million miles from it - not exactly high art, but it delivers.
