Another laughingly bad Nicholas Cage dud - Primal review by Alphaville
Animal hunter Cage, as hammy as ever, is on his way from Brazil to the States with a cargo of wild animals for zoos. And guess what? There’s a captured serial killer on board – a ridiculously gurning Kevin Durand. He’s being extradited, but naturally he gets loose and so do the animals. The film’s USP are the cgi wild animals, but we see little of them (to save money?). Basically it’s just another boring film about a killer in an enclosed space and is mostly filled with scenes of people prowling around the boat looking for Gurning Kevin. Fast-forward fare from start to finish.

Good Fun Watchable Action Movie with CGI Wild Animals - Primal review by PV
Nonsense and hokum yes, but enjoyable for what it is.
Lots of CGI animals and gore.
Cartoon characters, 2-D and wafer-thin, with a flimsy absurd plot, but what else would one expect?
It's a fag packet movie - the whole thing can easily be written down on the back of one.
Apeing Jurassic Park and Silence of the Lambs.
