Deftly strips away the phoniness of a big-budget studio production.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Overview
A robber escapes from prison with a single objective in mind: to track down his former cellmate, a serial killer who intends to pin his crimes on him. A cop is sent after the robber who, despite his best efforts, soon becomes Public Enemy Number One. As the protagonists are driven to their limits, it becomes increasingly unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey.

It's watchable but absolutely no big deal, although you wouldn't know that from the drum-heavy score, so loud and militaristic that someone could reuse it for a documentary about the Battle of the Bulge.

Like a bullet train, the French thriller "The Prey" is a model of breathless efficiency, its stuffed cargo of chases, brawls and twists delivered with admirable speed.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

[A] sharp if dramatically underwhelming French thriller ...

It's no insult to say that it doesn't aspire to art-house significance, just to white-knuckled entertainment.
