You can already guess what's going to happen. It has something to do with a brain abnormality and atmospheric pressure. And suddenly the American authorities show up with a highly dangerous mercenary (Kevin Durand) in chains, a battalion of soldiers armed to the teeth and a personal female doctor (Famke Janssen) to ensure that the mercenary survives the trip. A million to one shot and the guarantee he'll own some real estate in Pine Lake. And the white jaguar ('white jag' as Frank repeatedly pronounces) is a lottery ticket for him. Frank earns his living by catching exotic animals, which he then resells to the highest bidder. When Frank Walsh (Nicolas Cage) embarks on board a container ship, together with a whole load of exotic animals, he soon notices that he's not the only one with a unique, life-threatening specimen. Well, the truth is actually somewhere in the middle. The crucial question you can ask yourself is of course: 'Is this movie worth watching or is it completely rubbish?'. Apparently, his love for acting is infinite. But La Cage seems to have an enormous endurance. Every year he appeared in no fewer than six films. The man (known for his phenomenal roles in 'Leaving Las Vegas' and 'Joe') did his utmost best in recent years. And that's being able to announce on his deathbed that he broke the world record of 'Actor with most appearances in feature films'.

I'm sure he's aiming to reach a specific goal in his life. Maybe that's why it's worthwhile to give this film a chance. In 'Primal', on the other hand, it's a cargo ship that serves as a hunting ground. Only it took place in a kind of Pippi-Longstocking-house.

In this last film, too, it was a tiger chasing two innocent people. This movie 'Primal' immediately reminded me of a movie I saw years ago. An entire segment of the animal kingdom has already been used. Birds, dogs, cats, crocodiles, tarantulas, grizzly bears, monkeys, ants, snakes, and sharks. In 'A quiet place' there were creatures with such a developed hearing that they can locate any human sound and quickly go there to tear the source of the noise to pieces. Only recently you could see in 'Crawl' how alligators tried to outwit a father and daughter with their immense mouths full of razor-sharp, meat-tearing teeth.
