Although Netflix may need hit a dud with the discharge of \u201cThrash,\u201d starring \u201cBridgerton\u201d alum Phoebe Dynevor<\/strong>, they may have struck gold with \u201cApex,\u201d the streamer\u2019s latest thriller starring Charlize Theron<\/strong> and Taron Egerton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The movie starts off with Theron\u2019s character, Sasha, and her husband, Tommy, played by Eric Bana. The 2 are rock climbers scaling the Norwegian cliffs together during inclement weather. Fans of Eric Bana should take note: he doesn\u2019t stick around for long, and he literally leaves Sasha hanging.<\/p>\n Five months later, Sasha is driving through Australia by herself. She\u2019s come to spread Tommy\u2019s ashes in his homeland, nevertheless it\u2019s pretty clear that things should not going to go as planned. She runs into Ben, played by Egerton, while stopping at a gas station to purchase a map to get her through the distant spot she\u2019s on the lookout for.<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n Although Ben is useful and conversant in the realm, horror movie fans\u2019 alarm bells are already ringing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s not an excessive amount of of a surprise when she hikes through the distant area, only to run straight into Ben. It\u2019s not an excessive amount of of a surprise that he knew where to seek out her, considering he\u2019s the one who gave her directions, nevertheless it is just a little disorienting to see how quickly he shifts right into a murderous psychopath, ordering her to run so he can hunt her down.<\/p>\n Although Sasha seems to present him the slip, Ben seems to trace her down with an almost Michael Myers-like impossibility. Eventually, he does trap her in his cave, where the bodies of his previous victims might be found. Sasha knows what fate awaits her, but can she escape?<\/p>\n I won\u2019t give any spoilers here, but I’ll say it\u2019s a fairly predictable movie. Now, that\u2019s to not say that it\u2019s a foul movie. The chase scenes are solid, and the movie never seems to pull. Set at just over 90 minutes, it\u2019s not bloated, and the fast pace makes the movie fly by.<\/p>\n Although Ederton\u2019s acting might be just a little bit cartoonish at times, he fully embraces his inner psycho and provides an ideal counter to Theron, who plays it straight. There are occasions when her \u201cMad Max: Fury Road\u201d survival skills seem to return into play, \u00a0as Theron revealed that she did her own stunts<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOur crew delivered a very impressive movie, and yours truly did some stunts and motion \u2014 with out a harness, sometimes,\u201d Theron said at Netflix\u2019s 2025 upfront presentation on Wednesday, May 14. \u201cDon\u2019t tell Netflix.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s actually a miracle that I\u2019m here today,\u201d she continued. \u201c\u2018Apex\u2019\u00a0only wrapped like every week ago, so I\u2019m fresh off the mountain. I still have some Australian dirt under this gorgeous manicure, and my cute boot is hiding a fractured toe, and I can go on and on and on, but I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\nTaron Egerton Portrays A Convincing Psycho In \u2018Apex\u2019 <\/h2>\n
