Movie Review: Primal Is All Growl And No Bite (2019)

From director Nick Powell comes Primal starring Nicolas Cage (Mandy), Famke Janssen “How to Get Away with Murder”), and Kevin Durand (“The Strain”). The film tells the story of an animal trafficker (Cage) who boards a ship that is also carrying an ex-military assassin (Durand) taken into custody, a few soldiers and a doctor (Janssen), along with ship’s crew and the trafficker’s cargo which includes a rare white jaguar. As the journey begins, the assassin breaks free unleashes the Jaguar and begins killing people off one by one. Everyone knows who Nicolas Cage is and his reputation for his films being hit or miss. In the case of Primal, it’s a big miss. Cage’s dialogue and acting is so forced that it’s almost painful. The only thing worse is the spray-on-beard he’s wearing.

This November Nicolas Cage Is On The Hunt In ‘Primal’

Nicolas Cage (Mandy, Mom and Dad) is on the hunt and facing a ship full of dangerous creatures in the action thriller Primal, from director Nick Powell (Resident Evil: Retribution, Outcast). Famke Janssen (X-Men Franchise, Taken Franchise), Kevin Durand (“The Strain,” X-Men Origins: Wolverine), LaMonica Garrett (“Sons of Anarchy,” “Designated Survivor”) and Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos,” Goodfellas) also star in this action-packed film written by Richard Leder (The Suspect, ). “When Frank Walsh (Nicolas Cage), a hunter and collector of rare and exotic animals, bags a priceless white jaguar for a zoo, he figures it’ll be smooth sailing to a big payday. But the ship bearing Frank’s precious cargo has two predators caged in its hold: the cat and a political assassin being extradited to the U.S. After the assassin breaks free – and then frees the jaguar – Frank feverishly stalks the ship’s cramped corridors in hot pursuit of his prey, right up until the thrilling, unpredictable climax.” Hunt
