Predator (1987) Review
The film is thrilling on its surface and interesting underneath, which is rarer in the action genre than the genre's reputation suggests. This is not a film that accidentally achieved something.
Bill Duke appeared in Commando and Predator, and the shaving scene in the latter, in which his character is visibly losing his grip, is the first sign that the film is not what it appears.
He directed A Rage in Harlem, Deep Cover and Sister Act 2, and has made documentaries about colourism and race. He trained at NYU and has taught film at several universities.
