This movie makes me agree totally with a popular saying that “ninety nine days for a thief, one day for the owner.” One can be committing an offence and be walking away scot-free but if the person doesn't repent and change, eventually that thing would lead to his/her end.
Apex was released in 2026, it was directed by Baltasar Kormákur, and written by Jeremy Robbins, starring Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton and Eric Bana.
The genre is survival, action, adventure, and thriller and it runs for 1h 35m.
Sasha, a lover of adventures and a professional mountain climber, went mountain climbing with her husband. Unfortunately, a storm broke out while they were at a great height and she lost her husband.
Trying to find peace and solace for her lost, Sasha decided to go for adventure in Grand Isle Narrows.
Before the journey, she met Ben, one of the locals who is very familiar with the woods. Ben was quite nice and even suggested a few places for her to enjoy her adventure.
Sasha was pleased to finally be in the woods although she already had some unsettling experiences with some of the locals at the store and when she got to the wood.
She eventually camped at one of the places that was suggested to her by Ben, but something weird happened; her backpack containing food was gone and some of her things as well. To make it worse, a snake was lying just where she left.
Sasha had to find a way to get food and water, surprisingly she met Ben in the woods. He also camped and was having a nice time.
He offered her food and water, and just before she finished eating, Ben started saying really scary and weird things.
Sasha was uncomfortable and decided to leave when she saw her things in Ben's camp, it was then she realized that Ben was a serial killer who lures people into the woods then hunts and kills them for sport.
Instead of having fun in the woods and letting go of her sorrows Sasha is confronted with a hunter who is desperate to take her life.
Sasha had to navigate the woods she was completely unfamiliar with and struggle to protect her life.
For real this movie's cinematography deserves an accolade, the woods and the mountains were so real one can easily catch a feeling of what it feels to be there.
The visual effect was also great, it made the movie look like a reality. To be honest, the part where Sasha saw the bodies of those Ben killed in a very disturbing way really caught my attention, it gave me a real taste of horror.
The character Sasha really impressed me. Despite the fact that she was depressed, she was not ready to lose her life.
She was not too strong, but she was determined to save her life even if it meant for her to struggle and fight for it.
I love her survival tactics, she proves that wisdom and experience always beats strength.
Ben was also a wonderful actor, the character handled the role well, his hunting strategies and the dark humor made the movie a unique one.
Overall the movie was great, but I must confess, I almost stopped watching at some point because of how long it took before the action began.
I will recommend this movie to those interested in action, adventure and survival films, this one will give you exactly what you want.
Thanks For Reading
