Description: A mountain climber (Charlize Theron) haunted by a
fatal decision in Norway retreats to the Australian wilderness for isolation. Her
journey turns into a desperate hunt when a deceptive local (Taron Edgerton)
targets her as his next ritualistic prey in the bush.
Review: “Apex” is a thrilling survival thriller. Sasha is by herself in the
wilderness of Australia, wanting some solitude. But a local starts hunting her,
literally.
The film is just over 90
minutes and it’s a thrill ride. The story is simple yet original, but features
some predictable plot twists. It has solid action and the tension is really
present. It lacks depth, but somehow that isn't all that bothersome. We know just
enough about Sasha to root for her.
I have to praise Charlize
Theron for her physical commitment to the role and portrayal of the grieving,
independent climber. Taron Edgerton shows a different side of himself. His
performances sometimes balances on the edge of being too much, but he never crosses
that line.
“Apex” is a cat-and-mouse game.
The final half-hour is not as compelling as the rest, but it’s an exciting
nail-biter of a thriller.
Rating: 3/ 5
