THE HUNT HAS EVOLVED.

When several alien predators appear on Earth, a former Army Ranger (Boyd Holbrook) and a scientist (Olivia Munn) are among a motley group of people battling them.

Shane Black (who had a bit part in the original Predator (1987)) does to this franchise what he did to the third Iron Man – inject lots of humor to go with the action, with uneven results.

Very high body count in this fourth Predator chapter; often absurdly violent, with constant wisecracks from the admittedly amusing gang fighting the aliens.
