Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Worthy entry in the Predator franchise
This is a pretty decent offshoot of the Predator series of movies. It seems to try to capture the feeling of the original and is mostly successful. Of course there's also 4K UHD versions of this and the other Predator movies so the edge would go to those if the capability to view that format is available.
Predators is a great complimentary sequel to the original. Eventhough it lacks the big action star appeal and classic (cheesy) one-liners, Predators still delivers what you want from a sci-fi, action film: gunfights, suspense and a dash humor from a rich diverse group of dynamic, and stoic, characters.
Adrien Brody is no Arnold, but he packed on some muscle for his role and it helps him deliver as the lead hero. Alice Braga does a great job playing a reserved, dedicated soldier. Danny Trejo does a wicked immitation of Danny Trejo. Walten Goggins does a superb job playing a sociopath. Topher Grace is very skillful playing the innocent wild card. Oleg Taktarov (15 Minutes), Mahershala Ali (House of Cards) and Louis Ozawa Changchien (numberous tv shows) are all way underused but play what little screen time they are given to their fullest considering they are cannon fodder. (The bushido scene between Hanzo and one of the Predators is immaculate and plays as though Hanzo is not just a hired gun, but well versed in his culture.)
Haven't watched the deleted scenes yet. Not sure why they weren't available as an extended cut either. Regardless, enjoyed this movie and hope they make another.

Third Predator picture,
Lots of action and unanswered questions demanding another sequel.
