What to Know

Critics Consensus

Benefitting from astonishing Australian locations and Charlize Theron's raw athleticism while skimping on the finer details, Apex doesn't mark the zenith of survival thrillers but makes for a solid entry.

A fun watch, but it's hard to imagine people returning for a second viewing. It’s an efficient, effective horror movie about the limits of the human body. But it’s almost entirely experiential and in-the-moment, with no deeper levels to unpack or explore. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Charlize Theron gives everything she’s got to a survival thriller right out of the cliché spin cycle, but there’s no contest when she pits herself against a raging Mother Nature and Taron Egerton’s psycho cannibal killer. They never had a chance. Go to Full Review

It is thrillingly made -- lean and mean. Go to Full Review

It's an enjoyable cat-and-mouse thriller with two terrific leads. Go to Full Review
Steve Murray ArtsATL May 15
Director Baltasar Kormákur keeps things moving relentlessly through the jungle, ravines and whitewater rapids, the stars are believably well matched and Jeremy Robbins’ screenplay has a couple of nicely gruesome surprises. Go to Full Review

Robson C @RT82519826 4h Após perder o marido em uma escalada na Noruega, Sasha viaja para a Austrália, terra natal dele, decidida a enfrentar as corredeiras locais. Mas, além dos perigos naturais, surge uma ameaça ainda maior. O Jogo do Predador entra para a longa tradição iniciada por The Most Dangerous Game e seguida por filmes como O Alvo: a história de alguém que se torna presa humana. O filme se sustenta especialmente no jogo de gato e rato entre Theron e Egerton, que carregam boa parte da narrativa. Egerton se destaca como o psicopata caçador, encontrando o tom certo para a loucura do personagem sem exageros. Theron surpreende no papel físico, entre escaladas, caiaque e natação. O que enfraquece o filme são os momentos sem adrenalina, entre a cena inicial do casal e o início da perseguição, onde a tensão necessária não se concretiza — não por falta de entrega da atriz, mas por falta de construção dramática. Ainda assim, é uma boa opção para uma sessão descontraída à noite. See more JO L. @JOLop 7h I liked a lot if action. See more Daniel L @Hotchopeppa 1d Boring, improbable and predictable. Badly written, badly directed and plot holes everywhere. A decent performance from Taron Edgerton. Otherwise the only good thing about this movie was the location. See more Rio 9. @RT92983449 3d Great cast. Rather expected; not reinventing the wheel. But a fun thriller nevertheless! See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos 3d Panalo. Predictable at common na yung kwento pero dahil sa galing ni Charlize at Taron sa pag arte e madadala ka sa bawat kapana panabik na eksena. Ganda din ng cinematography. Alam mong green screen pero aakalain mong tunay ang mga views See more Sarah M. @sarahqi 3d This movie had me on edge because of the way it was filmed. Even simple scenes where you kind of knew what was coming were very suspenseful because of the angles. Charlize Theron was terrific. Understated and intense. I’m taking one star off because the final face-off was pretty dumb, logistically speaking there were much easier ways for her to finish him off. And that’s not a spoiler, because read the tagline of the dang movie. 😆 See more Read all reviews
