Frank Walsh is a big game hunter who sells the animals to the highest bidder. He catches a beautiful white jaguar at great personal risk and cages the beast. He books passage on a cargo ship but there is also some other dangerous cargo that needs to be moved. It is a criminal named Richard Loffler and he is being escorted by the US government. The officers with him swear that they are completely safe but what do they know, right?
PRIMAL is directed by Nick Powell and this is only his second film. His first was also starring Cage called OUTCAST. In this, he is playing a guy who seems to care about no one but himself. This is a character type that Cage as played before and he does it with ease.
