An action sci-fi sequel in which a group of military fugitives and an evolutionary biologist attempt to stop an attack from alien creatures.
Black’s typically tangy showcase for one f-word brings to mind others: fast, furious, fun… and somewhat forgettable.
A refreshingly unrestrained return to the sci-fi franchise balances snappy humor and relentless action with fun if somewhat forgettable results.
Shane Black delivers a disappointingly dispensable addition to the sci-fi franchise.
Wilfully offensive and powered by a chest-thumping machismo, but it’s good clean fun.
It remains to be seen if audiences still have the appetite for such random, back to the 80s-style hocus pocus.
Uneven, occasionally unsavoury and at times frustratingly muddled, but there’s enough bloody, ’80s-style fun in The Predator to give it a pass from long-term fans.
