3/5
Deftly strips away the phoniness of a big-budget studio production. Go to Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post 06/07/2013
1.5/4
It's watchable but absolutely no big deal, although you wouldn't know that from the drum-heavy score, so loud and militaristic that someone could reuse it for a documentary about the Battle of the Bulge. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 06/06/2013
4/5
Like a bullet train, the French thriller "The Prey" is a model of breathless efficiency, its stuffed cargo of chases, brawls and twists delivered with admirable speed. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/22/2019
The Prey plays like a fast and loose dime store novella, an appetizer that leaves you wishing for something more substantial, but has enough charm to coast by on. Go to Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls 03/02/2019
... gorgeous and insane, and really enjoyable - all the way through the terrifying end. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Turner Classic Movies Online 04/03/2014
Eric Valette tries to keep it grounded in action scenes built on a physicality that is more authentic than the overkill of CGI spectacle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE Jan 9 The opening scene is caricaturistic from the get go. The hero prisoner is having a conjugal visit and at the end the guard enters the room and jokes that the next time they should have a threesome or a quad. Publicly convicts and guards exchange items, probably drugs. In the yard prisoners swallow drugs. And so on.

See more 01/02/2015 Like the Break Mansions, there is also a little too much running and chasing in this film,but the story is smooth and furious.Maybe unlike many American films, there is not too much Bus-explosion,legs tearing apart, but all that running always keeps your tension high. About Morel and his wife's criminality, it is really horrific. Wife helped his demon husband rape and kill young girls, what a fucking sick couple!! what make me more painful is that it happened in my country before. See more 05/29/2014 A superior French crime thriller that does not disappoint See more 01/10/2014 Se laisse regarder matous c'est du vu revu et rà (C)chauffà (C)... See more Read all reviews
