Summary: PREDATORS
Review: CARACARA is a species of hawk that figures in this well done film. In fact, there are two "predators" as a viewer will discover.
Despite the negative reviews of other viewers, I found the film very interesting and original. Natasha Henstridge steps out of her alien shoes from "Species" and plays an ornithologist who has the caracara named Humphrey. One night two men claiming to be FBI agents ask her if they can use her apartment for top secret surveillance. Her girlfriend talks her into doing it, and before long, a fill in agent, played by the dashing Johnathon Schaech (Hush, Judas, Forsaken) shows up and Natasha falls for him. All, however, is not as it seems and a conspiratorial plot involving President Nelson Mendela unfolds, and Natasha is caught in the middle. Lauren Hutton appears as Natasha's alcoholic mama, and David Filipowich does a nice turn as detective Jack Pellegrino.
The photography is wintry and evocative; the musical by Christophe Beck is pleasant, and the performances are good. I found it entertaining in a guilty way, and forgave it for any of its minor flaws. The caracara was a beautiful and original plot device.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jonathon Schaech is film noir phy-zine
Review: Enough talk about the woman in the movie. Let the ladies have their say, because Mr. Jonathon Schaech was looking particularly tender in this psycho chop flick. I've seen him in other movies, but never "noticed" him before this film. I'm new to him as an actor; but I'll look deeper, now that I've seen him in this. He's got those psycho-drama eyes that just draw you in.
I personally think that he should be cast in some more mentally challenging film of completely non-Hollywood context, and a non-Hollywood cast.... definitely over any sea he'd blossom. Non- American actors and director. As I've said I don't much about him, so he may have been down all these avenues, and I haven't had the chance to check him out. His eyes alone say a lot more than the script of this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Drivel
Review: I bought this because I'd watch Natasha Henstridge in anything but this is just awful, wooden acting, shoddily scripted, twists that you can see a mile off, and even the obligatory [love making] scene with Natashas top off, (thrown in for no purpose) is done so badly you just wonder why anyone bothered. Anyone who sees Natasha Henstridge wonders why she hasnt become a star, look no further than this, your only as good as your last movie and this [stinks]!!! There is only one way to enjoy this film...never see it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For Henstrich fans only
Review: If you are willing to watch Natasha Henstrich in virtually anything, then this movie is a good bet for you. It's a watchable if fairly predictable thriller, in which the main plus is that Natasha does indeed graciously show us her fabulous naked breasts. If that's reason enough to check it out, then I can recommend that you rent or buy this flic. If on the other hand, you are looking for an action-packed movie with a charismatic bad guy and an eye opening climactic conclusion, I'm afraid you will be sadly disappointed by this film.
