“A film called ‘Primal’ directed by Alessio Lapice and starring Nicolas Cage is a gripping survival story that delves into the themes of confinement and primal instincts. The narrative follows Frank, a hunter, with a jaguar in captivity as chaos ensues when an assassin on board the ship sets them both free. Nicolas Cages portrayal of Frank is captivating capturing his desperation for change amidst the unfolding mayhem.
The dynamic between Frank and the jaguar adds a touch of vulnerability while the assassin brings tension as the antagonist.Lapices direction skillfully builds suspense and action with cinematography that beautifully showcases both the American jungle and the claustrophobic setting of the ship.The films score enhances its resonance though the pacing can feel uneven at times due to a start leading to a fast paced climax.
While much of the dialogue centers on action sequences interactions, between Frank and the jaguar touch upon themes. In essence ‘Primal’ is an exploration that pushes boundaries with its storyline and examination of instincts within individuals prompting viewers to reflect on their own inner animalistic nature.”
