Just a solidly made cat-and-mouse thriller, with muscularly committed performances from its two leads. It’ll make you want to explore the Great Outdoors and simultaneously never leave your house again.

Because Apex is only interested in surface-level backstory about the characters, the pursuit between the duo can feel repetitive on occasion. Then again, prioritizing white-knuckle thrills over excessive emotion and explaining is one of the most refreshing qualities of this gorgeously shot picture about survival and fortitude.

Good enjoyable movie. Taron and Charlize were both excellent with Taron giving off real creepy vibes. Yes the plots a bit thin however this does not claim to be some dark complex psychological thriller, its a 90 minute thrill ride to switch your brain off and enjoy the cinematography. Not sure what some people expect when they review these films, the next deliverance ? Worth a watch

Apex delivers a thrilling experience, grounded in its exploration of extreme outdoor pursuits like free diving and mountain climbing. The film leans heavily into its sense of adventure, using these elements to build both tension and visual appeal.Charlize Theron stands out with a commanding performance, fully embodying the intensity of her role. Action remains her strong suit, but it’s her versatility that continues to elevate her presence on screen.While the film doesn’t necessarily break new ground, it remains engaging and well-paced. I would recommend it for viewers who appreciate action-driven stories with an adventurous edge.

A 90-some-odd-minute adrenaline rush that gets stretched out a bit beyond its weight even with its modest running time.

This Netflix thriller is a fun-enough time that is elevated by the performances of predator and prey.

Apex fails to work either as a vehicle for sick thrills or an excuse for lots of feminist butt-kicking.

Theron can survive almost anything onscreen. Apex proves, once again, that she can carry weak material farther than most actors. It also proves that even she cannot quite drag a dull survival programmer up the mountain.

The Times
This is a mildly distracting guilty pleasure romp that is undone by its own casting crisis.

I liked this film. The setting was great, the climbing and rafting appeared realistic. The acting was decent throughout. There was tension, the direction was good. I'd watch it again!

Enjoyable, even though it's absurdly ridiculous that any middle aged woman (OR man) would go alone to do such dangerous things (rock climbing, white water rafting, etc.) But I guess they needed this stupidity to set up the plot, so whatevs.

Many plot holes, too simple plot. Views re the best. Somehow like 90s mediocre movies.

Bazı filmler iyi bitmemelidir. Bir çok ülkenin toprağından büyük ormanda gezi yapıyor ondan sonra başına bir şey geliyor. Tek başına bide. Kaşınıyor. Vakit kaybı...

Nothing here really at all, no twists, slop action, directionless filmmaking.
