PARIS — A high-octane, low-IQ mash-up of The Fugitive andSeven, The Prey (La Proie) represents another marginally convincing foray into thriller territory for French director Eric Valette (State Affairs, One Missed Call). This modestly budgeted (at 10 million euros) StudioCanal release should see its best returns in ancillary, while any action Stateside should come via a Hollywood remake.
