everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I just finished watching this on Epix. It just happened to come on and I thought, "What the hell." So I left it play. The next thing I knew, I was all interested in the movie. The croc was well used. I was happy to see plenty of shots of real crocs. I liked many of the characters and loathed the greedy assholes. The kind of jerks that you're hoping so much that they get eaten. There were a few side story lines going on too. This is actually a pretty decent movie. I got sucked right in and couldn't stop watching it. I was interested in what was going to happen. The cast performed well and it didn't have many slow spots. I think it's worth a watch for those who like these kinds of movies. I'll watch all kinds of crazy stuff. This is a pretty good movie,

CROC is a made-for-TV movie that barely can hold your interest. The kill shots are usually the most entertaining and these are all CGI, but that doesn't mean there isn't some real crocodile/alligator action. Australian Jack McQuade(Peter Tuinstra)has a semi-successful alligator farm that is in the way of a duo of Thai brother's business development plans.A monster-sized Australian Croc has made its way to Krabi, Thailand and slithered its way into unfamiliar waters to kill peoples of a local tribe. The Thai brother's gang let some of McQuade's gators loose to blame the killings on; thus the local cops can close the farm down. Meanwhile a known croc hunter, Croc Hawkins(Michael Madsen), is already on a self-appointed mission to track down and kill the giant Australian Croc.Also in the cast: Sherry Edwards, Scott Hazell, Elizabeth Healey, Wassan Junsook and Jack Prinya.

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.

Croc (2007) * 1/2 (out of 4) In Thailand a couple teenagers are killed by a crocodile and an American owner of a croc farm gets blamed but he knows it wasn't one of his animals. It turns out that it's really a twenty-footer and thankfully there's a hunter (Michael Madsen) that has been tracking it and plans to take it out. This is a rather strange film because it seems like the screenwriter didn't have any idea where he wanted to take the story so they just went in whatever direction they felt like at the time of shooting. The entire plot is set up around this American guy being hated by a couple brothers from Thailand and their constant attempt to get him out of business. We get countless scenes where the brothers send tax men, police, animal welfare and various other people over to get him to go out of business and I kept wondering to myself why all of this was needed. It certainly goes no where and it doesn't help that we never find out why this guy wants to set up shop here and what got him there to begin with. As far as the crocodiles go, we get a mixture of real footage as well as some really bad CGI stuff. The CGI attacks are all very bad simply because they're so obviously fake. There's not a single attack here that comes off looking real and even the blood is bad CGI most of the time. For the life of me I can't understand why producers don't mind the effects looking this cheap and bad but oh well. Another major problem is that none of the characters are at all like able but this is certainly due to the screenplay that seems to build up the dumbest bit of information on them and we get even dumber scenes like the stuff at the bar when the Americans are trying to pick up some girls. The T&A level is at zero and the death scenes are all bad so those looking for any kind of sleaze are going to be disappointed. None of the performances are very memorable and that includes Madsen who is obviously just picking up a paycheck. The only major plus to this film is that it was actually shot in Thailand, which gives us some terrific visuals but that's about it. There aren't any scares either so we're left with a pretty bad flick that should only be viewed by those who must see every killer croc movie out there.
