Apex is a remake of the 1994 feature film Surviving the Game. Basically, it's a cat-and-mouse movie. Here, we follow the story of a man who is hired to be the tour guide for a group of five wealthy businessmen on an island. But in a mix of Bacurau and And Then There Were None ..., we start these rich people entering a kind of human safari. The prey? Of course, the tour guide himself. With Bruce Willis delivering a good performance, far above what was seen in Midnight in the Switchgras and Threat in Space, Apex is an action movie that should reward those who want entertainment with plenty of adrenaline and emotion, without any major worries.
This is one of the most iconic and influential films of the first half of the 1990s. Quentin Tarantino's second feature film (after 'Reservoir Dogs') already presents all the characteristics that would make the filmmaker be revered: black humor, violence, crime, neo-noir atmosphere, long dialogues, meta-references and so on. Surprising at the time, the movie won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
Originally released in 2000, 'Unbreakable' is like wine: it has aged well. At the time of its release, the feature film suffered from negative opinions, largely due to its mix of thriller, psychological drama, and comic books - something that was not very well understood by the public and critics. Over the years, with reruns on TV, it gained cult status, especially with the help of younger viewers, who have grown up in a world dominated by superhero movies and series. With a surprising ending - a characteristic of director M. Night Shyamalan's work (of 'The Sixth Sense') - 'Unbreakable' ended up giving birth to a new universe of fiction, which would be explored again in the feature films 'Split' and 'Glass'.
