Charlize Theron’s Netflix Thriller Achieves Surprising Milestone


Some streaming hits take over the charts and then quietly move on. Others apparently start dragging 11-year-old electronic songs back into the conversation, because that’s where we are now. A Netflix thriller has already climbed to No. 1 on the platform’s Top 10, but its success has now spilled into music in a very unexpected way. One of the film’s standout needle drops has become a fresh obsession for viewers, which is honestly a pretty ideal side quest when your movie is already working.

Apex features The Chemical Brothers’ 2015 track “Go” during one of its most memorable scenes. The song plays when the demented villain, Ben, begins hunting our heroine Sasha, giving her a head start and telling her she has until the end of the track before he starts pursuing her. Casual behavior, obviously. The result is a scene that clearly stuck with viewers, because “Go” has now hit No. 1 on Shazam’s Global Top 200 and debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Dance Digital Songs chart.

The cast includes Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road, Monster) as Sasha, Taron Egerton (Rocketman, Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Ben, Eric Bana (Munich, Troy) as Tommy, Matt Whelan (Narcos, The Luminaries) as one of the hunters, Bessie Holland (The Tourist, Spreadsheet) as a cashier, Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road, Jack Irish) as a park ranger, Rob Carlton (Chandon Pictures, Paper Giants) as a second hunter, and Caitlin Stasey (Smile, Neighbours) as Leah. Netflix’s official listing describes the film as following a grieving woman whose solo adventure in the Australian wild turns into a twisted game with a killer who believes she is prey. That’s putting it mildly.

Is ‘Apex ‘ Worth Watching?

Collider’s review stated that Apex doesn’t exactly reinvent the survival-thriller formula, but it still makes for a tense, good-looking ride thanks to Theron and some seriously immersive action. In the end, Apex is a slick, exciting survival thriller that may be familiar, but is still absolutely worth the watch.

For Theron’s part, she was drawn in to the pure, feral nature of the story. “This movie really fired up my brain,” Theron told Netflix. “When I read the script, I couldn’t put it down and it stayed with me. It felt very pure but with great impact. The bite and the kick were so strong in what it was trying to accomplish without bells and whistles, and I loved that.”

Apex is streaming now on Netflix.
