Apex Review
Former police officer Thomas Malone (Bruce Willis) has been sentenced to life in prison for his part in the burglary, according to West Zaroff (Alexia Fast), a representative of a company called Apex who is planning a "hunt" for rich or powerful customers there. deer are humans. With the promise of a clean slate in case he survives Thomas takes the contract and is brought to the Apex Island hunting ground where six hunters prepare to chase him on Drs. Samuel Rainsford (Neal McDonough) the worst hit.
Directed by Edward John Drake and written by Corey William Large and Drake, Apex comes to us from the same team that gave us colleagues Willis in front of Sci-Fi dreck Breach (Anti-Life) and Cosmic Sin. Recording during a period of covid violence in British Columbia, the film has a slightly lower level than the Alien knock-off Breach or it could be Cosmic Sin's space warfare, but without the subtle view of Apex it feels like it is set in the same place as other films. complete with neatly assembled holograms, CGI cityscapes, and the usual cheap in production design. And since Willis is technically the main character but he still appears in it mostly with a double body and a limited video of his character, Apex is at the same level as Cosmic Sin.
The framework developed by Richard Connell's short story The Most Dangerous Game is one of the most copied characters for fun or action stories because they are simple but effective. One only needs to look at the likes of The Running Man, Hard Target, Surviving the Game, or even the 2020s The Hunt how true this is to filmmakers of the genre .... and Apex is puzzled right away. Thanks to Willis' agreement with the producers of his schlock directly in the video the fact that Willis plays "hunting" rather than one of the hunters or game manager is a very bad idea because it forces the film's attention to continue. hunters, and this is not where the intensity of this situation comes from. For this foundation to work you have to focus on the victim by building empathy, creating a sense of hopelessness, and making the audience wonder “will they come out alive?”. Willis 'introduction to the cast of exposure to hunters (which is not a joke referring to SOME of Willis' best films including Unbreakable and 12 Monkeys, seriously) Willis has been established as an unstoppable force with many scenes dedicated to elevating Willis's ego and how strong it is. , but they are all lies because with the exception of the 10-minute stretch at the end of the film's tail, many of the killings on the screen were perpetrated by hunters among them! Willis has only TWO great scenes where he does any real act (technically three, but one of them was a double hidden body so he doesn't deserve it). Most of the hunters are cunning, unstable, crazy, reckless and murderous and try to kill each other more than they do Willis, and Willis is so comfortable in the movie that sometimes goofy music plays while smoking and eating. berries (which are shown to be hallucinogenic but NEVER paid) and Willis' movement in this movie never surpasses an easy run.
Apex is probably more embarrassing than Cosmic Sin. Of all the mistakes of the Cosmic Sins at least understood that the villains of the movie should not be a greater threat to them than a hero. Apex is one of the most stupid, otherwise stupid take the simple formula developed by The Most Dangerous Game I have ever seen. There is probably some benefit to being ridiculed among friends for its productive values (including a teleporter with just three poles stuck in the ground) but otherwise this is an irrational waste to the development of a decent man who once lost hope. .
