Actriz Alice Braga who plays “Isabelle” in the high-octane fanboy film of the summer ‘Predators’ (July 9, 2010) takes on a role usually reserved for men. At first glance this beautiful and talented actress from one of our Latino Films of the Decade – City of God ( Click here for our top four films ) has transformed herself for the role in the Robert Rodriguez (El Marachi, SpyKids) produced film. The 20th Century Fox film has an all-star cast that are a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.

Walton Goggins is the loose canon of the group and Oleg Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent. It also stars regular Robert Rodriguez actor Danny Trejo as a hardened warrior.  Trejo will return to the screen later this year in the gory-action fest “Machete”. Oscar®-winner Adrien Brody becomes the leader a known hunter of men now facing off against one of sci-fi’s titular characters the “Predators”.

Also one of my all time favorite actors Laurence Fishburne is also in Predators. Mr. Fishburne is currently onstage as the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall ‘Thurgood’ at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles until August 8, 2010. ( http://www.geffenplayhouse.com/thurgood )

As for Alice Braga, already fixture of Brazilian cinema, captured Hollywood’s attention  starring opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor in David Mamet’s “Redbelt” for Sony Pictures Classics and Will Smith in the record-breaking film “I Am Legend” which was based on the novel by Richard Matheson.

She also re-teamed with her “City of God” director Fernando Meirelles, co-starring in “Blindness,” a film based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago. The film tells the story of a doctor’s wife who becomes the only person with the ability to see after an entire town is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness.

In “Predators” she is “Isabelle” the lone woman of the chosen group, with IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) knowledge and sniper skills realizing she has been left as prey on a distant planet. Long rifles and kill shots are her signature gifts but a large mistake from her past has haunted her. If she survives she hopes there will be redemption.

Predators is rating a whopping 71% fresh on www.rottentomatoes.com which hopefully means we will be seeing more of Alice Braga in the future.
