After an extremist militant group threatens their lives, a young couple (Ryan Phillippe and Mena Suvari) is forced to flee their Christian missionary post in the Kalahari Desert. After being granted passage aboard a rickety plane, piloted by a corrupt smuggler (Emile Hirsch), their escape to safety is nearly in reach. But when their aircraft loses power and crash lands, they discover a bigger threat awaits them as they find themselves stranded in the middle of an animal preserve populated by man-eaters -- lions, leopards, and hyenas. Injured, frightened, and being tracked by the extremists, this ragtag group of passengers must fight for survival from both man and beast where only the strong will survive.

Prey is a never-ending series of unspeakable situations. Although it starts out decently, the accumulation of narrative inconsistencies makes it a production worthy of a "super action Saturday afternoon," at best. [Full review in Spanish]

Between a harrowing plane crash and a vicious lion attack, the thrills are minimal in this survival saga that winds up as generic as its title.

There’s always something mildly repulsive about narratives that credit God for a protagonist’s survival but apportion no blame to Him for putting them into that scrape in the first instance, and it’s even worse when the film itself is a stinker.

The plot’s too logic-deprived, the characters too wispy-thin, the situation too predictable, the seams of the production too visible.

Hirsch, who is nothing if not prolific, hasn’t had great luck with his recent roles, but dominates most of this film and gets to remind us what he’s capable of.

The best thing about this low-budget B thriller is its beautiful African nature footage, which seems to have come from a stock footage library. The human part of the story goes quickly and permanently off the rails.

It has been quite some that I have watched, completely, a movie as awful as this one. Why I stuck with it, I can't say.👎🏿

Absolute waste of an hour and a half. You're left to visualize the attacks while never seeing the end result. Even the smuggled items are never shown!

So bad it's almost good. Dodgy logic, great big holes in story, poor production values and direction, crap acting. I don't understand why they didn't just take the vehicle of the two terrorists they killed and drive it to the nearest place. Did I miss something? Weirdest plane wreck ever seen. Too many god-bothering parallels.

Absolutely no good. Waste of time. I even had to Google if there were actual lions in the film. They clearly had no idea how to manipulate a lion attack cause you see none but everyone is getting eaten by lions. Waste of time. Horrible movie.

Lions behaviour wasn't realistic, but you need a bit of unreality for an exciting film. the attack scenes were tense, but you didn't get to see much of the gire at all, it was hinted at. What was good about this film is that you might think you knew who will die first or who will be alive at the end, but this film starts from predictive script.
