    Two ambitious reporters and their ragtag crew find themselves in war torn Barundi searching for a 25 foot killer crocodile called "Gustav". During their campaign to locate and retrieve the beast they perform every b-grade horror script trope which will reduce you to a lot of groans and forehead slapping -- thus excellent for Saturday night Horror-trope drinking games. Despite its quality of production, it's hard not to wish you were watching LAKE PLACID instead... but, two things stand out -- Duke Leto Atreides (Jurgen Prochnow's) laughable death scene and that hot vamper's guy (Dominic Purcell) from BLADE TRINITY is the notable piece of man candy in it. Enjoy.

    Like a lot of people, when I first saw the previews for this movie I was expecting a horror film about a killer Crocodile. The croc ended up almost being a sub-plot amidst the civil war torn area in which it hunts. I think this is why so many people were disappointed with it and for this, as always, I blame Hollywood producers who don't have enough faith in their product to market it as is. This is what happens when studios are run by people who went to business school instead of film school.
    The film follows a news crew trying to document the capture of this unusually large (though exaggerated compared to the actual croc it is based on) crocodile in the area of Burundi which is suffering from a civil war which happens to be as much a part of the story as the croc hunt. This is loosely based on the PBS documentary 'Capturing the Killer Croc.' I'm not a big critic of acting talent. I've always taken the view that as long as the acting is not so horrible as to make the movie unwatchable then I'm happy. That said I had no problem with any of the performances in this film. The story kept me hooked and the special effects were pretty awesome. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good film that goes beyond just being a gore fest, though there is plenty of gore to be had here.

    J'avais acheté ce film que j'adore mais il ne passe pas sur mon nouveau DVD. Je l'ai donc racheté et j'en suis ravie. Cette histoire me tient en haleine du début à la fin. Tout commence très vite en fait ce qui est rare dans un film, même de ce genre. Bien que le début soit très étonnant, je ne m'attendait pas après cette scène angoissante et la suite du film qui se passe aux EU. Mais très vite on se retrouve en Afrique. Mon pays préféré, malgré les guerres éthiques si malheureuse mais cela changera. Pour revenir au film, HOP! Ambiance et GROSSE AMBIANCE. Tourné de façon réaliste. Je me suis identifiée à chaque acteur tant leur importance est significative et captivante. La mort de l'un d'entre eux reste terrifiante et je n'aimerai pas avoir le monstre à mes trousses. pour ce qui aime les films d'animaux méchants, avis perso, il est un des plus beau que j'ai vu à ce jour. plus de 10 sur 10. Pas une minute où rien ne se passe et le croco est super bien fait. Tiré d'une histoire vraie. Ce monstre dévore toujours des adultes et des enfants. A voir absolument
