"Apex, which has almost no dialogue, a paper-thin script and plot holes the size of the Australian outback in which it was filmed, is not for you, but you would be wrong."
"What's startling about this is that Theron, at 50, appears to have successfully outrun the Hollywood dead end that greets women on their 34th birthday."
"Theron has been everywhere in the past fortnight, dominating the social-media feeds, crowding out the increasingly desperate-looking publicity push from the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2."
"While it probably doesn't need saying that Apex isn't Citizen Kane, it is a thoroughly enjoyable hour and a half and an antidote to the current news cycle."
Apex is a 95-minute action movie featuring Charlize Theron as Sasha, a climber who faces a psychotic killer while camping in Australia. The film, currently popular on Netflix, has minimal dialogue and a simplistic script. Despite its flaws, it serves as an enjoyable escape from current events. Theron, at 50, challenges Hollywood's ageism against women, showcasing her physical prowess and maintaining a strong presence in media. The film's length and action elements provide a refreshing alternative to typical narratives surrounding aging actors.
