Apex on Netflix delivers a brutal survival thriller capped by Egerton's standout turn

Netflix’s new survival thriller Apex delivers relentless tension as Sasha (Charlize Theron) threads a brutal hunt through the Australian wilderness, with Taron Egerton delivering one of his best performances as the hunter. The film thrives on its claustrophobic set-pieces and grim perseverance, though its backstories and final payoff feel rushed. Still, for fans of tense cat-and-mouse thrillers, Apex stands out as a brutal, immersive ride that secures Netflix’s No. 1 spot.

Big ambitions, uneven craft: four April 2026 releases reviewed

Apex, Desert Warrior, Fuze, and Michael arrive with big budgets and big ideas, delivering moments of excitement but often losing focus in service of spectacle: Apex benefits from Charlize Theron and a tense survival setup but leans into campy horror; Desert Warrior aims for a feminist epic yet struggles with a uneven script and pacing despite striking desert visuals and solid performances; Fuze is a lean, well-edited crime thriller that amasses momentum in the first half but falters with a late twist; Michael relies on nostalgia and showmanship to evoke Michael Jackson but glosses over deeper questions about the artist. Overall, the lineup showcases ambition that isn’t always matched by craft.
