Although "Prey" has exciting car chase scenes, bloody fights and perverted murders, in the final analysis it tells a story about "trust". The male protagonist, Frank, was imprisoned for hiding a stolen money. Because he was betrayed by an accomplice, he did not trust anyone, including his poor wife. This distrust was deepened after Frank was framed by Russian prisoners and prison guards after his imprisonment. It's a pity that Frank was entrusted with inhumans. In order to protect his wife, he told Mario, a rapist in the same room, his biggest secret, and this rapist who claimed to be "unjustly accused" was the real cold-blooded serial killer. Frank left a lasting wound after his imprisonment. After Frank is forced to escape from prison, he is also tracked by female police officer Claire. This dismissal of "Sanchakou" was performed in a thrilling manner, and the three people were wandering in the quagmire of "trust".
Frank got into trouble because of his trust, and at the same time he was framed, so he must gain the trust of the police while taking revenge and atonement; the twisted and perverted trust between the serial killer and his wife made him fearless and can freely release the animal desires in his heart , so he was invincible; and Claire, the policewoman, judged whether to trust Frank with her keen intuition as a detective, and she could even see through a serial killer in clever disguise. As these three people chased and escaped, the truth was also complicated and clear, and the most cruel thing was not how Frank survived in desperation, but the life gamble he designed for himself, based on "trust". Tragedy, after all, he had to clean up with his own hands.
Of course, the most exciting performance of the whole film is still Albert Dubondi's performance. His sensitive and tenacious eyes, his skinny body, and his extraordinary ability to resist blows, as if there is a fire burning in his body, that is, Fragile and powerful. Whether a man who has carried too much suffering can win the trust of others again while believing in others has become a big problem. Although "Prey" is an interlocking "hunting" process, in the final analysis, it has established a solid "iron triangle", which is also the most wonderful part of the script. Therefore, no matter whether the pursuit scene can be compared with Hollywood type movies, the rich content and dignified style other than violence give "Prey" a strange brilliance. It can be seen that what "Prey" wants is not the effect of the "popcorn" movie, but the exploration of deeper things and sharper reflections on this basis.
