Shane Black's ["The Predator"] movie is so cleverly over-the-top that it's easy and pleasurable enough to watch, though never exactly scary or suspenseful
it's aggressively pacey, overloaded with smug one-liners, gore-laden and unlikely to have much of a future; a so-so movie for grown-up kids who like the smell of their own trash
insanely violent, packed with off-color jokes, and of course, sentimentality, "The Predator" is one of the most enjoyable popcorn flicks hitting multiplexes this fall season
all of this is silly, borderline senseless, lively, and without any real rooting value at all; It's an exhaustingly energetic mess in which a coherent plot and credible characters aren't even on the cluttered menu
