Hunter and collector Frank Walsh (Nicolas Cage) expects a big payday after bagging a priceless white jaguar for a zoo. But the ship bearing Frank's precious cargo has another predator - a political assassin (Kevin Durand) facing extradition to America. When the prisoner manages to break free, Walsh must utilise his expert skills to capture the dangerous killer - not dead, but alive. (Defiant Screen Entertainment)

Nicolas Cage’s performance in this movie as a mega-cool desperado hunting wildlife left me feeling completely cold this time, because, in Primal, his acting is far from his usual deranged performances which we all like him for. In this respect, he was outdone by the manic Kevin Durand. However, looking at the unconvincing CGI here, I sighed at the times when more capable moviemakers made action thrillers without the need for green screens and digital effects, and, managed to create a movie like this on smaller budgets. Also, well, Famke Janssen's botox-filled motionless face was an even more sad thing than the desperately digitized visuals.
