Awesome! There could not have been a better sequel to 1987's original with Ah Node. 1990's goofer with Danny Glover is like a step child in the series as are the AVP 2004 and 2007 offerings.
The knarliest of their tribes (e.g. a Yakuza hitman, a Mexican drug cartel's executioner, a soldier of fortune, etc.) have been selected, kidnapped from earth and tossed onto a planet which turns out to be a game preserve for the Predators to visit, bag their limit, and then fly home. Adrien Brody, Alice Braga ("I am Legend," "Repo Men"), and Laurence Fishburne lead the cast with some other notables and it is good. This turned out to be a 2 niter for me!!!
The acting is good, the cinematography, well, the lighting could have been better, and directing are fine as well. The script is good as the twists in it are pretty cool to think about. For instance, the creepy con who turns out to be okay, the doctor who turns out...well, watch the film. One bizarre thing was it seemed like Fishburne and Brody were required to smoke a pack of cigarettes before each line.
