It's a combination of a bored Bruce Willis making easy money, ridiculous characters, terrible acting, terrible special effects and green screen matting from 1970's, trying to tell the stupidest version of the "men hunting men" story. Avoid at all cost.
Wow, who knew that a movie that had both Neal McDonough and Neal McDonough on the cast list could be that bad? Let's not beat around the bush here. "Apex" was an abysmal movie from writers Edward Drake and Corey Large.
The storyline is about a group of hunters that pay to go to a remote island to hunt human prey for sports. Oh wow, how very original. Yeah, it is not like that has been done a hundred times before director Edward Drake got to the helm of "Apex". Right.
Not only was the storyline unoriginal in "Apex", it was also downright boring and bland. And this was by no means up to what you usually expect and get from the likes of Neal McDonough or Bruce Willis. Not even by a long shot.
This movie offered nothing enjoyable or entertaining really throughout the 1 hour and 34 minutes that it trotted on and on for. So making it through to the end, to the insanely predictable and generic end that is, is quite the accomplishment. I managed to do so, but boy was it a struggle.
Even the acting performances in "Apex" were sluggish, and it felt like both Neal McDonough and Bruce Willis were here just to make a quick buck. Their performances were subpar and cringeworthy at times.
You might want to do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Apex", because it is simply not worth the time, effort or money.
My rating of "Apex" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Bruce Willis had forgotten how to act. Horrible movie. Its almost as if they made this movie as a joke. McDonough is wasted. The rest are no namers that can't act. The song at 49 minutes is wholly misplaced, throws the whole scene off. Skip this!
Terrible. Beneath McDonough and Willis. These "hunters" go after humans that earn the right to regain their freedom if they survive. Bruce is the criminal, McDonough the elite killer. Garbage script and editing that didn't even match up times of day.
I see people saying this is a remake of "Surviving the Game" or other similar movies but it was "The Most Dangerous Game" that was the original (1932) based on the book that all those movies are trying to copy.
However this is probably the worst version. First, Bruce Willis is supposed to be some super tough guy yet at no point do we see anything that gives us the impression that he's a super tough guy. He does everything stupidly (the red jacket in the forest, walking around in plain site). We do not see him do anything super tough outside a couple quick things that really show us nothing. At no point is he believable as this super tough guy who shows them all up.
The hunters are all morons who you do not believe have the slightest ability to hunt. They also do nothing that shows they have the skill that are implied. It's all a bunch of morons, all stupid and uninteresting. It was a pain to get through this awful movie.
There is no way the whole island can be covered with cameras so there would definitely be spots someone could hide in. It's a giant island, if someone wanted to hide from the few stupid hunters with no actual hunting skill it would not be hard. And the girl that puts it all on who appears in holograms is dreadfully awful on top. I mean can you cast one part with someone believable?
I try to give anything with Willis a try but seriously, he lost it a long time ago. This is one of his worst.
