'THE PREDATOR': Five Stars (Out of Five)
The forth installment in the 'PREDATOR' movie franchise, which began in 1987 (the sixth counting two 'ALIEN VS. PREDATOR' movies). This one was directed by Shane Black, who co-starred in the original, and it was co-written by Black and Fred Dekker. It's about a group of ex-soldiers who team-up to stop alien invaders, called 'predators', from killing a special young boy with Aspergers, and destroying a small town in the process. The film stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Trevante Rhodes, Sterling K. Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Augusto Auilera and Yvonee Strahovski. It's received mostly negative reviews from critics, but it is expected to do well at the Box Office though. I loved it. It's ridiculously violent, and full of witty dialogue and lovable characters (like only Shane Black can deliver). The story also revolves around the Predators knowing humans are going extinct soon, due to climate change, and they want to collect someone with Aspergers because they know people on the spectrum are the next step in evolution. So I really liked that about the film as well, but mostly it's just a hell of a lot of fun, like the 80s action flicks I grew up on!
