> Giant crocodile flick saves its gore until the climax.
The plot is standard-issue in this giant crocodile monster flick. A journalist (Michael Vartan), led by an Outback tour guide (Radha Mitchell) goes on a wildlife cruise in Australia that is disrupted by a huge croc. Director/scripter Mclean aims for a cerebral approach with an underwhelming dollop of gore, taking time to develop his characters before they are devoured. Problem is, the characters are clichés who are impossible to care about.
Shelf Talk: As a man-eating croc movie from Australia was already unleashed on DVD earlier this year (Black Water, back in February), it would be best to focus on the two good-looking stars.
