It's easily the best film in the series since the original with Schwarzenegger. It has great cinematography, good action scenes, and a pretty cool Predator design. Unfortunately, the CGI scenes with animals could have been much better. There's a high body count, by the way. I liked that, even with the CGI blood and gore.
What a nice surprise! It's a forgotten Hammer gem and a thriller, which caught me off guard. A lot of plot twists, some tense scenes, and great performances by the entire cast. I don't want to make spoilers, so if you are a Hammer or Sir Christopher Lee fan, better watch it by yourself. I bet even Hitchcock fans would like it.

If only I had liked the songs!

I love everything: the amazing soundtrack by Mark Knopfler, the script (and of course, William…
