The film is set in the near future, during an unusually high
heat wave in Los Angeles. A vicious street war between rival
drug gangs armed with military-grade weapons dominates the
city. A gang war has erupted in the streets. After an
intense firefight between cops and criminals, the injured
are rescued from the crossfire, and the criminals
withdrawing into a nearby building, where they have set up a
supply area and load up for a final showdown with the police.
A series of explosions rocks the inside of the building.
Suddenly the killers are the
victims of an alien being.
Predator 2
established several new facts about
the Predators, and actually painted them in a somewhat less
harsh light than the previous film. The Predators are
something of a noble hunter, and as a code they refuse to
hunt or kill any unarmed, ill, or pregnant prey.
This excellent soundtrack is perfectly chosen for the dark
tone of the film, particularly the use of eerie percussion
instruments carefully assembled to achieve tension and
suspense one minute before all of a sudden springing into
the full orchestra usually when someone gets killed.
