A tense thriller that nicely exploits a formulaic nature it doesn't quite transcend. Go to Full Review

Mar 18 Kind of boring, unlikeable characters, not enough crocodile to my taste See more Paperback S 10/07/2023 While the first movie was a brutal and emotional crunch, this one slowly drowned me into boredom See more Emilliano S 06/02/2023 Slight improvement from the first one. See more Julio N 05/12/2022 No meu Ponto de vista o Filme é muito bom e o que chamou muita atenção sao os efeitos ( Crocodilos). Nao usaram aqueles efeitos chulos e péssimos como em outros longas fizeram em crocodilos . Eles parecem ser muito reais no filme, e tem suspense, tensao e ação, entao eu Aprovo ! See more 04/23/2022 One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I honestly wished the crocodile had eaten them all and swam off into the sunset. My family and I were rooting for the crocodile.
