Predator - Review

The rouge assembly of talent mumbles fart and pussy jokes throughout this aimless misfire. If it bleeds, we can kill it. A mantra that defined many of the machismo driven action films of the early nineties was birthed in the iconic John McTiernan directed Predator. I have been a fan of the dreadlocked space hunter since I first saw him square off mono e mono on the original films jungle finale. Hell, I dug the follow up that transported the mysterious killer to the streets of Los Angeles. Danny Glover and Gary Busey were a fresh bash of frenetic energy, unexpected in a follow-up that saw the gruff and tuff military hit squad replaced by a lone detective and a wacky paramilitary scientist.

The rest of the films that followed including AVP and AVP: Requiem are pretty forgettable, but cute distractions aimed to pump new blood into a dying franchise. So where does 2018’s Predator stand? Sadly, somewhere below the AVP series. Nope, this movie was not a home run for the filmmakers as intended. Both sales and reviews were bad for this one. For me? I could do without this sequel.

It’s basically a twisted story of Prometheus. Here we have a runaway Predator suffering from PTSD due to some pretty traumatic genetic splicing he’s been subjected to. His grand final fuck you to his lords involves him stealing a prototype Predator costume that’s been custom built for a human. Ok, so he’s stealing this fire and giving it to the humans? But first, he will kill any humans he comes across? The films major angle features a major plot hole. The Predator in this film comes in peace, sorta? It’s all confusing.

Adding to the confusion, is a plot that involves an autistic kid being the ultimate Predator prey. None of this feels at home in a Predator film. Nor does the Mega Predator that stands somewhere around eleven feet tall and possesses a Star Trek level translator that communicates his gurgles and clicks into English so the characters can understand. There’s not much to like or love in this film. See it if you’re a hardcore Predator fanboy or like to laugh at aimless jokes about Pussy and Farts. The only way I’d give this one a good review is if you tried to convince me that the entire film was really an extended Key and Peele sketch, because it feels like comedians trolled the Predator. Now that’s comedy.

It was just what a comic should be.
