If you’re in the mood for a straightforward, adrenaline-fueled thriller, “Apex” is an easy recommendation for the weekend. Director Baltasar Korm\u00e1kur, whose previous thrillers include Netflix heavy-hitters like “Everest” and “Beast,” once again proves his knack for crafting tense, high-stakes entertainment. While the plot doesn’t break much new ground, there’s enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, and both Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton bring plenty of intensity with solid performances.<\/p>\n

Theron stars as Sasha, a world-class rock climber who travels to Australia for a fresh start after a devastating mountaineering accident. While braving the Outback, she soon finds herself facing a far more dangerous threat when a mysterious drifter (Egerton) begins stalking her, kicking off a brutal test of survival.<\/p>\n
