★ ★ After an hour of dull and unecessary 'Robocop'-esque near-future cops vs. drug gangs non-action (censor-appeasing cuts have excised all the gore), the film finally hits on a reasonably entertaining urban equivalent of the original's mano-a-mano guerilla death-match.
The script, acting and direction are limp. 'Aliens' is plagiarised, and the Predator develops a potty-mouth. Scwarzenegger was wise to choose 'Terminator 2' over this crap.
Voodoo magic. Fuckin' VOODOO MAGIC mon.
ReplyDeleteIs this the one with Murtagh in it? I remember this having no soul, and being pretty black hearted (not in a racist way) to be honest.
Oh, and good work with the blog :) Good call - you have ten thousand films to watch.
Yeah its Murtagh playing Riggs (first movie), and unconvincingly swearing his little cotton socks off. Gary Busey takes over what was supposed to be Arnold's role, and the director went on to direct 'Lost In Space'. Its balls.
