In the movie Primal, seasoned big-game hunter Frank Walsh (Nicolas Cage) is in search of the ultimate prize: a rare white jaguar. He finally catches his prey, but his victory is short-lived when he discovers that his cargo ship is also carrying a lethal assassin, Richard Loffler (Kevin Durand), who will stop at nothing to escape custody.

With the crew under attack and the dangerous predator let loose on board, Frank finds himself in a race against time to bring the jaguar to safety and stop Loffler from wreaking havoc on the ship. Along the way, he must navigate the treacherous waters of betrayal, as he realizes that some of his crew members may have been in on the assassin's escape plan.

Adding another layer of complexity to the already tense situation is the presence of Dr. Ellen Taylor (Famke Janssen), a veterinarian who has come on board to examine the captured jaguar. She clashes with Frank at first, but as the danger escalates, they find themselves working together to bring everyone to safety.

The movie is a non-stop adrenaline rush, as the crew battles Loffler's ruthless tactics and the jaguar's deadly instincts. Nicolas Cage delivers a strong performance as Frank, a man driven by his obsession with capturing the white jaguar. He is gritty and intense, and brings an authenticity to the role that elevates the movie.

Famke Janssen is also excellent as Dr. Taylor, a woman who is not intimidated by the dangerous situation she finds herself in. She is tough and smart, and her chemistry with Cage is palpable.

Kevin Durand is a standout as well, playing the vicious assassin Loffler with chilling precision. His character is determined and cunning, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Director Nick Powell keeps the action coming, with intense fight scenes and heart-pumping chase sequences. The special effects are also impressive, especially the jaguar, which looks incredibly realistic throughout the film.

Overall, Primal is a thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It's a great movie for fans of action and adventure, and Nicolas Cage fans in particular will not be disappointed.

Primal is a 2019 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.9 and a MetaScore of 32.
