Paxton plays the energetic side kick and continues his killer-alien experience that he started in Aliens. The performances are good, Glover gets to be a Riggs type rather than a Murtagh/retirement case.
It's easy to believe that Arnie could use the jungle and stealth to defeat the alien - but Danny Glover (Mr "3 days from retirement"?) taking on the Predator in what is essentially an extended fist fight? Sorry - it's fun to watch but a little hard to believe. The final battle between hero and Predator is not quite as good as Schwarzenegger's confrontation with the alien, but is still a good finish to the film. This keeps a certain mystery and helps build a certain amount of tension. For the most part the Predator moves cloaked and we only really seek the consequences of it's actions rather than the whole beast revealed. That said this sequel doesn't make the mistake that other "creature-feature" sequels have made - this keep the Predator hidden even though we already know what it looks like. Overall the action is great but could have benefited from more slow, tension building. The strobing fight on the subway is the most effective but the battles between police, gangs and predator are also very well handled.

Unfortunately this doesn't have as much slow tension as the first film, but rather has long raging gun battle throughout - this does tend to bring it down to the level of a standard action movie but it does have some standout scenes that lift the film. However all this is window dressing to the action scenes. The plot has the core of the predator doing battle, but now has another string of the FBI/Gary Busey conspiracy which makes the film much more interesting.
The plot is basically the same as the first - an unseen attacker attacks armed forces in the jungle - except here it's in the urban jungle, and it's actually pretty good. None of the original stars return but the cast is full of name stars - Gary Busey, Danny Glover, Bill Paxton, Ruben Blades, Robert Davi. This follows on from the first movie well - not a forced sequel picking up from the last, but a different film that ties it's action in with previous events. Glover and his team begin to hunt the new gang until they are joined by a FBI unit who seem to know more about the gang than they let on. As more armed gangs are attacked and killed in similarly unexplained ways the police realise that a new element is attempting to muscle in on the existing gangs. Before they can act the 6 are violently killed and stung up by an unseen attacker. During one shoot out the police led by Mike Harrington (Glover) trap 6 men in a building.
Gang warfare rages between rival drug gangs with the police caught in the middle.
