i have read many unflattering comment regard this film and and the only thing i have see that they all have in common be represent boring and unrealistic . first of all and they use real frickin crocs . how much more realistic can you get . no cgi and no animatronics and no miniature . just a croc and a piece of meat . have fun and fella . there be no question that this film get off to a slow start . character development and what little they have and anyway and do take a bit of time and and i think this be primarily where this film lack . however and when the film get go and i find the action pick up dramatically . i do not mean to say that there be a lot of action . if anything and there be more moment where the croc can not be see at all and and the people be just wait . however and we know that there isn not go to be any relief and and that the croc be just bid it time . this have a similar eerie feel to other film that achieve their horror through non action and such a open water ( another film that have be criticize by some viewer a be bore ) . personally and i think that viewer who find themselves incapable of feel the suspense have have their attention span surgically remove at birth and but that just me . finally and the character feel real and and the situation be such that it really could happen to anyone in the right circumstance . furthermore and the death be completely real and and at time and it a little tough to watch . all in all and this one a winner .
