Reviews

Apex received generally negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an 11% approval rating, reflecting widespread criticism of its predictable plot and lackluster execution. Many reviewers noted that while Neal McDonough's performance was commendable, the film suffered from clichéd storytelling and underdeveloped characters. IMDb users gave Apex a low score of 3.0/10, citing issues such as poor pacing, unconvincing action scenes, and a lack of originality. Metacritic does not have a sufficient number of reviews to provide a consensus. Critics from outlets like Common Sense Media pointed out the film's thin narrative and minimal emotional engagement, describing it as "A tired, derivative action thriller that fails to deliver excitement despite its promising concept." However, some viewers appreciated the gritty visual style and McDonough's commitment to the role, suggesting it may appeal to fans of straightforward survival action films. Overall, Apex is viewed as a forgettable addition to the genre, overshadowed by better-executed thrillers.
