“Prey” (*1/2 out of four) was an earthbound melodrama about a missionary husband and wife (Ryan Phillippe and Mena Suvari) who go on a trip with a pilot (Emile Hirsch) and other friends but their plane crashlands in the Kalahari Desert forcing them all to put their survival skills to the breaking point. Airplane-crash scene is literally the only thrilling scene in entire film and the rest is muted and inert. Phillippe and Suvari are severely wasted; their fans can only “pray” they start to receive better scripts and roles sometime soon.
