Shane Black's The Predator arrived in theaters last week.
Screen Rant reports the film was killed by critics.
---The Predator is a confused, sloppy mess of a film, overstuffed with zingy one-liners and lacking in coherence... Black cuts constantly, embellishes his violence with gory CGI, and shoots many sequences at night, which makes it hard to keep track of anything.-- The Atlantic.
---Here is a movie that thinks it?s an action-comedy and couldn?t be more wrong about that assertion... Hawkins is spinning in his jungle grave.--- Vulture.
---Scenes are poorly knitted together, especially toward the end. Time and tempo break down, as if the film were snapping apart at the seams. Ideas are offered ? might Predator DNA be mixed with those of a human? Why do Predators keep coming back to Earth? ? but quickly abandoned. Some characters die in underwhelming ways, as if the film stock ran out.--- Associated Press
