Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Nonureva Really Surprised!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Diane Ruth Stewart Raffill Before Sci Fi became "SyFY", Saturday evenings were motion picture event nights because one could rely on a high quality production being presented, a film of intelligence and intellectually challenging. That was before the days of Mega Shark vs. Dinocroc and Sharknado. This is one of those fine films from those fondly remembered days. Directed by the gifted Stewart Raffill and starring respected actor Michael Madsen, this is a film that is well produced on location in Thailand and is highlighted by a masterful script by renown screenwriter Ken Solarz. It is a powerful story about a killer crocodile threatening to destroy the indigent peoples and the tourists alike. The atmosphere of fear and dread is almost unendurable and the intensity of the action overwhelming. What make this film especially unique is the focus on the humanity, the inner lives of a people facing a fight for survival they were ill prepared for. Madsen does of his finest work in years and the entire cast is superb.
larry-485-161583 This movie was on last night and was truly AWFUL. I didn't expect much because the channel that it was on shows nothing but ninth rate "horror" movies. The acting was sub local rep standard. The "plot" was absurd. The characters were children's cartoon book like. The "hero" and his pal were utterly nerdy. The "giant" croc appeared to be about six feet long. The bad guys were inept losers. The local girls all looked like back street prostitutes. The "hero" got into trouble with the bad guys TWICE in the first few minutes and his geeky pal just happened to be driving close by to rescue him both times. What more can I say. Save yourself the sleep inducing time and avoid this none film.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain A mixture of stock footage, animatronics, real crocs and a few CG shots combine to "bring life" to this hokey but cheerful killer croc movie. Madsen keeps himself in the background until the end, and puts in more effort than the role requires. I've heard he's had some financial issues, which is a shame for such a great actor. But hey, at least he doesn't seem bitter. The land developer subplot is used well and quickly disposed of for the finale. Some people just can't capture the pain of being eaten by a crocodile. The setting allows for some nice scenery. Don't expect any strong characters to care for, but if you like Croc movies, check it out. Perhaps better than you'd expect.
MartianOctocretr5 Another in Sci-Fi (SyFy) channel's never ending quest to rip off famous monster movies with silly copies, and rip human victims to pieces to accomplish this.Mutant crocs develop a taste for human cuisine, and run amok in some Asian coastal town. Victims rarely have names, but plenty of spurting red paint when a croc makes a Big Mac out of them. Few characters get even one click above nameless slaughter-meat: an animal welfare agent (who also handles animal social security and animal medicare), a croc hunter (a Capt. Quint clone from Jaws), a carnival barker guy who does a sea-life Shamu type show, carnival barker's moronic cousin, and a stereotypical sunglasses and black suit bad guy in a limo (who looks like he was supposed to be in a kung-fu movie, but got on the set for this one by mistake). Said baddie has countless stooges who end up as croc snacks, of course.The acting is questionable, but I've seen worse. The director gives this routine hungry monster flick some good pacing, although the script writer has offered nothing new. The croc is just some Animal Planet footage, and the dozens of decapitated heads are obviously Halloween masks with red paint splattered on them. I did like the puppy's acting; his barking was very realistic. He and the croc are the standout performers.You'll know two minutes in who's gonna get devoured, and the fact that this film will win no Oscar awards. It is however, good cinematic fast food, which is all it's trying to be.
