As outlandish as a hunter’s island is, Apex has the right level of seriousness that keeps it from becoming camp and crazy enough to keep it from becoming too serious for its own good.

This is a potentially interesting premise that gets drowned by bloody violence and endless action movie cliches.

"Apex" should have been called "Nadir."

Writer/director Edward Drake bats around promising ideas before suffocating under the weight of thankless formula.

I can’t believe this director was ever involved with true detective. Maybe he was the key grip or something. This movie is so bad - I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse movie. And I just watched Afterburn with Dave Bautista. Imagine you know roughly how a movie should be made in theory but have no practical experience doing it. So you give it a go with your iPhone. That’s this movie. Like each scene, in theory, made sense - but you don’t really know how to film, or edit, or transition. You’re not really sure how the technology all works - maybe you watched a video on YouTube about how to make a movie and you followed that and did it in a weekend. Honestly, the saddest thing was watching Bruce Willis wander in the woods thinking to myself - is this acting or did they just film him being lost and confused?

As entertaining as it was the dialogue was terrible and the acting was mediocre at best. It sucks to see bruce doing all the movies in a rush because of his declining health. This made 10 years ago with Bruce would've been so much better. This was a good idea but not executed the way that it should have. Tim Treakle

Nothing too deep, massively original or earth shattering, but good actors and I enjoyed watching it. It sorted of nods towards Bruce Willis as Unbreakable, a statistical anomaly and combines it with the Running Man and Die Hard. The enigma of why someone otherwise normal just doesn't seem to be able to die as he is hunted down by people armed to the teeth is Bruce Willis almost to a tee.

This movie was horrible from start to finish. Bruce should have NEVER taken this role. The acting was garbage along with the producing and directing.

Wholly incompetent from the ground up, Apex should top everyone's lists of lazy actioners taking advantage of recognizable stars.
