AVP:R Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) d. Strause, Colin / Strause, Greg)
Picking up immediately after the close of the previous film where the union of the two galactic goliaths seemed inevitable – and not in an olive branch kind of way, this latest installment features a Predator “cleaner” (shades of Harvey Keitel’s “Wolf” character from Pulp Fiction) sent to erase any evidence left behind on earth of either race. A relatively intriguing jumping-off point, but the whole endeavor goes south in a big, big hurry, thanks to Shane Salerno’s mean-spirited body-count screenplay and the ham-fisted, sniggering, “see how they splatter” direction by siblings Colin and Greg Strause.
