'Apex' review on Netflix: 'An intense cat-and-mouse game with one big problem'

Netflix Taron Egerton Charlize Theron Baltasar Kormákur Tom Guide
(L-R) Charlize Theron as Sasha and Taron Egerton as the hunter in "Apex" on Netflix.
Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Apex'
  • Rating: 3/5 stars
  • Verdict: "'Apex' is a mostly forgettable blend of the thriller genre's greatest hits. It's sorely lacking in original ideas of its own, but Charlize Theron and a devilishly unhinged Taron Egerton keep you invested until the conclusion. Just don't expect to remember much. 'Apex' fades from memory mere hours after watching."
  • Where to watch: "Apex" is on Netflix now

Before watching Netflix’s new survival thriller, “Apex,” I was fairly confident it wouldn’t be truly terrible. Director Baltasar Kormákur is experienced in the thriller genre, having helmed the likes of “Everest” and “Beast,” and Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton are both capable of elevating whatever material they’re given. I thought, at the very least, “Apex” wouldn’t be a total flop.
