“The Predator” (** out of four) was a mindless fourth entry in this now-wearisome series about an American sniper (Boyd Holbrook) who accidentally intercepts the return of the Predator and must join forces with an evolutionary biologist (Olivia Munn) and a group of misfit former soldiers (Thomas Jane, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, and others) to thwart the predator and save mankind. Director Shane Black (who played Hawkins in the original) keeps this moving fast but the story is an overstuffed hodgepodge and script is weak. A definite improvement over the last entry (2010’s “Predators”) but this pales in comparison to the first two and bears the mark of a series past its prime.
