A grieving woman testing her limits in the Australian wilderness is suddenly ensnared in a deadly game with a ruthless predator.

Critics Consensus

Benefitting from astonishing Australian locations and Charlize Theron's raw athleticism while skimping on the finer details, Apex doesn't mark the zenith of survival thrillers but makes for a solid entry.

It is thrillingly made -- lean and mean.

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

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

Egerton is clearly having a blast here. It’s fun to see him lean into another chaotic performance.Apex is an interesting title though, considering this film is only in the middle of the food chain of cinema.

2.5/4

In its strongest passages, APEX becomes spatial. Crevasses, cliff faces, narrow passages — the geography tightens, and with it the tension.

Theron keeps it captivating, but Egerton is extremely one-note in the villain department. It's a shame because there are some fun IMAX worthy sequences in here.

No le hagan caso a los gringos que le tiran hate a esta pelicula de verdad es muy buena ya que la protagonista se va dando cuenta poco a poco de los pequeños detalles que le van pasando y te hace deducir antes o al mismo tiempo que ella que hacer en esa situación y sinceramente no creo que muchos sobrevivirían a lo que hace esta chava.

One note, predictable, disappointing. Theron acting excellent though, as you’d expect. Egerton - one dimensional, one of his poorest roles.

Come on, it was good! Anything that causes a viral dance and people swooning over Egerton... he obviously did a good job. Too many low ratings here. Popcorn... yes Does that mean it's not good? NO

Charlize Theron is the only reason Apex is watchable. She spends the entire show compensating for Taron Egerton.
