It follows the story of a former police officer, James Malone, sentenced to life in prison for a crime he did not commit before being offered a chance at freedom on the condition of surviving a deadly game of Apex. In the latter, six hunters pay for the pleasure of tracking a human on an isolated island. Only Malone is not a prey like the others and will transform the game into real hell for his hunters. On Rotten Tomatoes, the feature film gets a sad score of 11%, with the press agreeing that Apex is “a cheap, lackluster sci-fi action thriller pits wily prisoner Willis against wealthy hunters in a dull genre throwback.” The public’s score makes up for the disaster a little with a frankly average score of 60%.
