The Predator

The hunt has evolved into a fourth instalment from Predator in 1987 to The Predator in 2018. The science fiction action horror film is directed by Predator alumni Shane Black and written by Black and Fred Dekker. Staring in the film is Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Thomas Jane, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown and Alfie Allen. 

The plot sees the hunt come to our suburban streets smarter and stronger than ever before after a boy triggers the return of the Predators. To save the day and prevent the extinction of humans, are a crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher as they team up to fight the Predators.

The films story was a bit out there and sloppy with the overflow of one liners almost putting it up there as a parody. The violent and gruesome action is what holds The Predator up but not enough to make it enjoyable. 

★★1/2
