Croc

Tedious movie with very little action. Crocs can apparently become invisible in swimming pools. Also, crocs are not amphibians, they are reptiles. And apparently, they like their food rotten, so they bring live victims to their lairs, because food rots faster when it's alive. And here's a more honest version of the scene where Jack is about to be arrested for tax evasion:Tax guy: You owe my government $2000. Pay up now or go to jail.Jack: But you don't understand! I'm an American! I don't have to deal with consequences. I can do whatever I want and nobody will hold me accountable. Because that's how the world works, you stupid Asian! And to prove it, I'm just going to run away. But first, I'm going to flirt with one of your women, because II can sleep with your women, but you can't sleep with mine, because this movie was made for Americans, and Americans don't want to see that.

One of the first scenes in this movie begins with the exploitation of adolescent elephants (they're even chained at the neck.) I couldn't bring myself to keep watching after that.

When I saw it was from FilmRise, and with the early scene of the fishermen using dynamite to fish, I was set to see a real low budget piece of garbage. It is nice to be surprised once in awhile. The body parts were fake, and when the croc head rose up out of the water, that was a piece of hardware (prop). But the acting was decent enough, and the setting was very authentic looking. And also very scenic. And the underwater shots were of tropical reef areas, including the lion fish. Most of the croc shots were of actual crocs in motion. Not sure I accept that the killer croc was in that swimming pool without anyone knowing about it (except the dog, who kept barking), and I doubt Allison surviving after her attack, especially with only a bruise on her arm, but that makes for a more ‘dramatic’ picture. And I guess the evil developer was thrown in for subplot. So this is an entertaining enough movie to be worth the time watching.

It was so suspenseful. I was screaming at the t.v. the whole time.

No, it isn't great, nor was it ever going to be nominated for any awards, except perhaps a Razzy.The movie does have some good points though, for a low budget "Croc" film.The dialogue is decently done without any major gaffes or enormously ignorant parts.The acting is not exceptional, but good enough to keep some interest happening.Croc Hawkins does a pretty good job of being the droll, taciturn revenge seeker.Some mild language issues, but no boobs, making it sort of family friendly.The croc attack scenes were dependably low budget, but nonetheless relatively well done, and yes the bad guy gets eaten.The only truly tedious scenes involve underwater sections where far less time could have been used to 'document' the characters swimming from point A to point B. That however seems to be a common problem in low budget movies, if they have to use an underwater camera, they are darn sure going to get some use out of it.p.s. Body parts don't float on top of the water like that. That makes it far too obvious they are actually made out of Styrofoam.Other than that, the ending, from the time the bad guy dies, until the croc dies, it all seemed very rushed when it got to that point. (except for that far too long section of underwater swimming)

I enjoy some cheesy, low-budget, creature features once in a while, but this was just sooooo bad. The "acting" is atrocious, as is the script. (Pretty sure these weren't actual actors, just locals happy to get an "acting" part).Have to admit, I turned it off about 30 minutes in, I just couldn't take any more. No suspense, no wondering what was going to happen, beyond predictable.There are so much better low budget films in this genre - don't waste your time with this one.

There are some decent moments, even moments of suspense, in this rogue crocodile movie (speaking of "Rogue", make sure you see that movie). The exotic locale of Thailand, including some actors and actresses, help to enliven this outing and, quite surprisingly, Michael Madsen helps to ground the movie and give it some empathy. As the story goes an American runs a rundown croc zoo with live demonstrations but is having trouble paying the rent. That's convenient as some local land developer/ gangsters want him out of the way and keep sabotaging his zoo and making trouble for him with an animal rights overseer (somehow I don't picture Thailand as having those...). It doesn't help matters when a large, rogue croc kills some locals after some of the American's crocs have been let loose. So he gets involved in trying to save his crocs only to find that there is an actual large predatory crocodile terrorizing the area and he ends teaming up with the attractive female animal rights overseer and Michael Madsen, a hunter who has been on the trail of this particular killer for years. The end of the movie is a nice showdown between these (and a couple of other people) leads and the titular man-eating monster. A nice effort and a decent watch, especially if you're in the mood.Note: the review above is for the stadalone movie "Croc". Amazon's review process apparently will not let us create a separate review for the triple feature of the "Maneater" series that also contains "Sea Beast" and "Shark Swarm". For my reviews of those standalone movies please go to those movies as sold as solo features. My overall review for the three film set is that "Sea Beast" rates 4 stars, "Croc" 3 to 3.5, and Shark Swarm an abyssmal 1 star--avoid that at all costs. On the cheap the triple feature is worth purchasing because of the better than average "Sea Beast" and "Croc" and I would grade the overall experience ("Shark Swarm" included) 3 stars.

We've definitely seen better. The characters weren't even very likeable. I kept feeling sorry for the Thai girls, (except for the animal rights inspector) who appear to do nothing with their lives, waiting for a prince charming from a Kingdom far far away, to come and take them out of that miserable place with no future.

Good flim

Really bad

Another good film. I really enjoyed this film and bought it on dvd. Good story line.

Could anticipate what was going to happen. Dissapointing
