Soon fear, fatigue, and paranoia start corroding the team’s efforts against an unimaginable threat – a mechanoid of incredibly advanced design that won’t stop until its found and killed them all. Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Blake Richardson, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber co-starred.
Dubbed “Predator” meets “American Sniper,” the film scored mixed/slightly positive reviews from critics, with praise for its action sequences but not so much for the pro-militarism messaging.
Patrick Hughes will return to direct the sequel and co-write the pic with James Beaufort. Hughes will also produce along with Todd Lieberman, Rich Cook, Greg McLean, and Alex Young.
