Review
Apex stands out as a pleasant surprise among the usual generic content. It proves to be a solid and engaging film that offers more than expected.
Although the familiar hunter-versus-victim wilderness trope has been explored before, the film adds fresh and gritty elements that keep its runtime interesting, especially for those who enjoy survival and pursuit themes.
The river rapids sequences serve as a subtle tribute to classic films like Deliverance, while still maintaining originality. The Australian wilderness is beautifully captured, adding strong visual appeal. The performances are noteworthy, with Taron Egerton delivering an intense portrayal and Charlize Theron bringing a grounded, powerful presence.
Fans of films like A Perfect Getaway (2009) and Whiteout (2023) are likely to enjoy this movie. Overall, it is worth watching on Netflix and offers a satisfying viewing experience.
