Primal

Primal (2019) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nick Powell and headlined by Nicolas Cage as a big-game hunter who quickly learns that catching animals is the easy part.

Frank Walsh has spent weeks in the Amazon securing a cargo of exotic wildlife — including an extremely rare white jaguar — for a US zoo. The Greek freighter he books for the return trip is also carrying a political assassin being quietly extradited under military guard. Two days out, the prisoner breaks loose and springs every cage on board.

Cage and Kevin Durand as the assassin make for a pleasantly unhinged pairing, and Famke Janssen rounds out the ship as a military surgeon. There is no pretense of plausibility here; the film commits fully to its own chaos and keeps moving fast enough that you barely notice. Stream Primal (2019) online on iFILM.
