Charlize Theron's latest action movie, Apex, is available with a Netflix subscription and has maintained a solid hold at the peak of the platform's popular movies. I'm not surprised, as I absolutely loved the action thriller and all the rock climbing, but I am surprised at how middling the response is to it by others.
Apex's 65% critic score prevents it from "Rotten" status on Rotten Tomatoes, but not by much. Audience approval is even lower than that, with 52% enjoying the movie. I'm here as someone who legitimately thought it was one of the best Netflix movies I've seen in a good while, and ready to defend it on two major things that set it apart from similar offerings.
