EMPIRE ESSAY: Predator (18)

Plot
Dutch Schaeffer is leading a team of commandos to rescue hostages being held by Central Americans. People start turning up dead but skinned. Something bad is out there but it's not from either side...or even this planet.

Verdict
Predator is the quintessential melding of 80s testosterone cinema with the tenets of sci-fi.
