This is a fun if chronologically distant sequel to the '80s movie Predator. It features a young Comanche woman who slowly becomes convinced that there's "something out there". Despite being a girl she's bent on becoming a hunter and let's just say that between the Predator, some French trappers, a mountain lion or two, and her own band-mates .. she has a chance of earning her stripes.
I haven't seen all of the Predator and related movies over the years. I think it's fair to say they mostly haven't been great, though there certainly have been some entertaining moments along the way. This movie is a cut above the rest.
Recommended.
