Reviews:

I saw this movie as a troubling status of our present day situation, where everything is about hate, blood and gore. While I understand that this is a hypothetical story, I have no doubt that the direction this world is heading this could be in our future. The acting was a little weak, but with strong cast members like Bruce Willis and Neil McDonough I put that shortcoming on lines and direction. Even the action scenes left a little to be desired. Still I give this 3 stars.⭐⭐⭐

Bruce Willis is “Stone”. He used to be a cop before a miscarriage of justice saw him serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. As luck would have it, though, “Rainsford” (Neal McDonough) and his sidekick “West” (Alexia Feast) are organising a lethal man-hunt on their remote island. They decide that “Stone” would make for an ideal target so offer him his freedom if he survives – and that’s a big if. What now ensues is a truly awful hash of a film that sees him wandering about the forest in an hig-vis cardigan generating about as much menace as a day in an ice cream factory. The story has elements of the far superior “The Most Dangerous Game” (1942) but is just remarkably devoid of character. The dialogue is really puerile and, to be perfectly honest, I felt that they could all have been doing with being left on the island to slaughter each other without troubling the audience at all. What is Willis doing here? He cannot need the money? His laid back, slightly sarcastic style falls completely flay and McDonough – well perhaps someone could explain to me how this ultimate in one-dimensional actors still gets work? I think “Nadir” would have been a far better title for this – it really is for all concerned.

Bruce Willis reteams with his Breach and Cosmic Sin collaborators for a brainless and incompetent sci-fi take on The Most Dangerous Game
Former cop Thomas Malone (Bruce Willis) having been given life imprisonment for a his part in a burgulary gone wrong is approach by West Zaroff (Alexia Fast), a representative of a company called Apex which arranges “hunts” for wealthy or powerful clientele where the prey are human. With the promise of a clean slate should he survive Thomas takes the deal and is brought to hunting resort Apex Island where six hunters prepare to chase him with coldblooded Dr. Samuel Rainsford (Neal McDonough) the most driven of them all.

Directed by Edward John Drake and written by Corey William Large and Drake, Apex comes to us from the same team who gave us fellow Willis fronted Sci-Fi dreck Breach (Anti-Life) and Cosmic Sin. Filming during the covid pandemic in British Columbia, the movie has is slightly lower scale than Alien knock-off Breach or would be space battle epic Cosmic Sin, but despite a lower concept approach Apex feels like it’s set in the same universe as the other movies complete with poorly integrated holograms, CGI cityscapes, and a general cheapness to the production design. And with Willis technically the main character but still appearing in it mostly through body doubling and limited footage of his character, Apex is pretty much on the same level as Cosmic Sin.

The framework established by Richard Connell’s short story The Most Dangerous Game is one of the most copied frameworks for thrillers or action stories because it’s simple but effective. One need only look at the likes of The Running Man, Hard Target, Surviving the Game, or even 2020s The Hunt for how reliable a premise this is for genre filmmakers….and Apex bungles it from the get go. Because of Willis’ agreement with producers of his direct-to-video schlock the fact that Willis is playing the “hunted” rather than one of the hunters or the game warden is a terrible idea because it forces most of the movie’s attention to be on the hunters, and that’s not where the tension for this premise comes from. In order for this premise to work you need to focus on the one being hunted by building sympathy for them, creating a sense of desperation, and making the audience wonder “will they get out alive?”. With Willis’ introduction via exposition dump to the hunters (which no joke has references to OTHER better Willis movies including Unbreakable and 12 Monkeys, seriously) Willis is established as this unstoppable force with multiple scenes dedicated to inflating Willis’ ego with how tough he is, but all of them are lies because aside from a 10 minute stretch at the tail end of the movie, most of the on screen killing is done by the hunters amongst themselves! Willis only has TWO major scenes where he does any actual action (technically three, but one of those was a poorly concealed body double so he doesn’t deserve it). Most of the hunters are conniving, unstable, psychotic, backstabbing opportunists and do more killing and attempted killing of each other than they do Willis, and Willis is so relaxed in this movie that at one point goofy music plays while he smokes a cigar and eats berries (which are revealed to be hallucinogenic but that’s NEVER paid off) and Willis’ movement in this movie never goes above a light jog.

Apex maybe even more embarrassing than Cosmic Sin. For all Cosmic Sins faults it at least understood the villains of the movie shouldn’t be a bigger threat to themselves than the hero. Apex is one of the dumbest, if not the dumbest takes on the simple formula established by The Most Dangerous Game I’ve ever seen. There is probably some value in mocking it among friends for it’s lackluster production values (including a teleporter that’s just three poles stuck in the ground) but aside from that this is brainless junk coasting on the fumes of a once respectable leading man whose just given up.

Not an A movie but OK
This is another Bruce Willis B Movie, but at least this time its watchable.

The acting is a bit hammy, not surprising since Neal McDonough is normally hamming it up in the TV Series of the D. C. Universe.

The rest of the actors really could do with acting lessons.

The Script could have done with a bit more finesse And the wardrobe department needs to be shot at dawn.

But it’s passable as a watch.

The Plot needs finesse The Script has holes The sound is ok The Photography is ok The Acting is hammy

Its a passable watch ????????
