‘Primate’: Solid movie without a solid plot

Usually, I like to look into a movie before I buy a ticket for it. At the very least, I like to read the synopsis, check the cast for any recognizable names and maybe see what the general audience reviews are before I commit to a two or more hour endeavor.Every once in a while, however, I’ll go to a movie with zero research or expectations going in.
