(2007) ***1/2
An American travel journalist goes to Australia on assignment. On a tour with a group of people, a huge, man-eating crocodile attacks them. The boat sinks and they are stranded deep in swampy woods. It’s a fight for their lives, man against beast.
This was good man vs nature film. Crocs are the reptile equivalent to sharks, they are big, strong, driven eating machines. They have no interest in us for any reason other than food. The beast in this film is old and smart. Oh and did I mention he’s huge? He’s picking off people with the grace of a stoner at an all you can eat buffet. It’s a fun and tense film filled with action and some pretty sweet gore. Good stuff.
