In Primal, When Frank Walsh (Nicolas Cage), a hunter and collector of rare and exotic animals, bags a priceless white jaguar for a zoo, he figures it’ll be smooth sailing to a big payday. But the ship bearing Frank’s precious cargo has two predators caged in its hold: the cat, and a political assassin being extradited to the U.S. After the assassin breaks free – and then frees the jaguar – Frank feverishly stalks the ship’s cramped corridors in hot pursuit of his prey, right up until the thrilling, unpredictable climax.
The film also stars Famke Janssen (X-Men films, Taken), Kevin Durand (I Am Number Four, Tragedy Girls), LaMonica Garrett (The CW’s Arrowverse), and Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos).
