Hey, do you remember that guy who played Morpheus in THE MATRIX and was really cool until he aged 20 years in ten days and got fat? Well, he’s joined the cast of PREDATORS as someone named Noland who Shock Till You Drop describes as pivotal to the “plot.” I’m hoping “pivotal” is a code-word for “sitting duck.”
Now, I know I’ve been kind of negative in regards to this film, but it’s not because I want to be. It’s because everything that I’ve heard about it has sucked. You can’t pin this one on me. Starting with the director who I wouldn’t know from a hole in the wall to the cast that includes no one that I care about…there’s just nothing here to get excited about. And now you throw in Laurence Fishburn as the icing on the lame cake. Wonderful. Fishburn has as much business fighting Predators as Danny Glover did, i.e. not much. At least Danny had Bill Paxton as comedy relief; who does Laurence have? Danny Trejo? That’s no good.
