Review of Prey

Prey (VI) (2021)
1/10
ZERO Quality Control by Netflix yet again
11 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
An absolute waste of time. It started off decent when you had no idea who or where the shooter was but then both the characters and plot became just idiotic. All the main characters are absurdly paper thin with all but one of them being extremely annoying and selfish. The shooter has all but 2 lines and a stagnant facial expression to charaterize her and it unsurprisingly did not work. It is extremely hard to understand or empathize with her because the reason for her hunting the main characters makes no sense and is absurdly unjustified, no matter how stupid or selfish these guys are.

The subplot between two of the characters is straight out of a mediocre soap opera and has zero place in this thriller. The final act is unsatisfying and ends abruptly, not to mention the huge leap of logic in the final "fight" where a fully grown man actually struggles to wrestle a gun from this average build woman. This movie is very predictable and straightforward with almost no twists which it DESPERATELY needed to keep you awake from this boredom of watching guys walk around in ugly grey woods and waiting for something to happen. What kind of thriller movie has barely any thrills?!

This is just another L on Netflix's loooooong lists of disappointments. It is clear they focus more on the quantity of their selection than the actual quality of their content.
