Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit
over original: Half as taut and twice as dumb .Every good monster movie
deserves a sequel, and with few exceptions they get a crappy one. Predator 2 is
right in line with that legacy, a lackluster (and Schwarzenegger-free) action
flick that steals every page it can from the Aliens playbook.Since Predator took
place in the jungle, Hollywood’s sense of irony dictates that the sequel should
take place in the city: In this case, Los Angeles, where a bloody gang war is
underway. But from the one guy that wants to capture the Predator instead of
kill it to the assault team that goes after it and gets completely decimated,
everything about Predator 2 feels very familiar and boring. Danny Glover as Lt.
Harrigan, wearing baggy grandpa pants but swearing like a sailor, is an odd
choice for an action hero, and the film hilariously pairs him with the
always-insane Gary Busey as a mysterious government operative who seems to know
a lot about the city’s resident invisible extraterrestrial. The bulk of the film
is kind of nonsensical: Why the alien is here, why Glover cares about stopping
this gang war, and why the Predator doesn’t just leave when the going gets
rough… these are questions that never get answered. And you’re not supposed to
care, since the action doesn’t stop, the weapons are updated, and the gore is
extreme (with the original cut earning an NC-17 due to violence). The acting in
the movie is applied hysteria. Glover, so engaging as a different kind of cop in
the “Lethal Weapon” movies, screams and sweats, swears and climbs down tall
buildings. He is assisted by a Latino woman, played by the wonderful Maria
Conchita Alonso, whose idea of creating an identity for herself at headquarters
is to grab a new guy by the crotch until he pleads for mercy. The dialogue is
foul and clinical, and the special effects, while expensive, are not
interesting.
