Primal stars Cage as Frank Walsh, a big game hunter and collector who finally bags his prized prey, a rare white jaguar. Unfortunately for Frank, the boat carrying his score is also ferrying an international assassin, Richard Loffler (Kevin Durand), to face justice. The trip turns treacherous when Loffler not only breaks out of his constraints, but also frees the jaguar in the process. (Lionsgate Home 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.
