'Apex,' Netflix's latest survival thriller, has rapidly climbed to over 100 million views in just one month since its release. The film stars Charlize Theron as Sasha, a grieving adventurer who becomes the target of a violent killer, played by Taron Egerton, in the rugged Australian outback. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who has a strong background in the survival-thriller genre, 'Apex' has spent four weeks on Netflix's top 10 chart. It recorded 38 million views in its opening week, followed by 40 million in the second week, and 16 million and 10 million in the subsequent weeks. Despite its success, the film has received mixed reviews, holding a 66% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics note that while 'Apex' showcases stunning Australian landscapes and Theron's impressive physical performance, it lacks some finer details typical of top-tier thrillers. As it stands, 'Apex' is on the verge of entering Netflix's all-time top 10 list, currently held by 'Damsel,' which has amassed 138 million views. Viewers are eager to see if 'Apex' can break into this elite category.
