Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle Pouring from the demented mind of Ping Lumprapleong, The Pool is a survival thriller that manages to balance dumb decisions with gut-busting laughs to mold an extreme riot of a film that shouldn't be as entertaining as it is. Oct 5, 2019 Full Review Kristy Puchko Pajiba The Pool is an undeniably wild ride full of gnarly ingenuity, jolting thrills, and intense sentimentality. Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine A high-concept joyride that hits you in the pleasure receptors and the heart, The Pool is among the most purely entertaining recent additions to the stuck-in-one-place subgenre Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants Gibberish aside it's hard not to get caught up in the tale as old as time spectacle of Hot Man vs. Pissed Off Alligator Jul 8, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Romantic creature feature from Thailand, with plenty of surprises despite its simple premise. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 9, 2021 Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com Ping Lumpraploeng wrings every last drop of tension from the schlocky premise, and the cruel creativity of the battle between man and crocodile makes for mean-spirited fun Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

andrea c Contestualizzando il prodotto al mercato da cui esce, ossia quello thailandese, probabilmente questo "The Pool" merita tutte le recensioni positive del caso; se però la valutazione viene fatta solo basandosi sulla qualità del prodotto, allora sorge qualche dubbio in più. La sceneggiatura ha il pregio di essere varia per tutta la sua durata, proponendo ostacoli diversi e pericoli molteplici senza mai far annoiare lo spettatore. Purtroppo la CGI è veramente di livello infimo e anche il finale lascia parecchio a desiderare, troppo esagerato nel passare dal dramma assoluto alla salvezza totale, in stile primi anni '90. Molto cringe la morte del cane ed il suo utilizzo da parte del protagonista. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Thom G In its genre, it's simply perfect. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Wolfgang G The Pool ist ein thailändischer Thriller von Ping Lumpraploeng… In einem verlassenen, 6 Meter tiefen Becken sitzt ein Paar mit einem tödlichen Raubtier fest… „The Pool" ist ein tief schwarzhumoriger Überlebens-Thriller und zugleich ein Kreaturen Film… Die Darstellung der CGI-Effekte des Krokodils ist etwas mangelhaft, aber dennoch lobenswert… „The Pool" ist ein spannender Actionreicher Kreaturen Film… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Michael D Incredibly infuriating movie. Characters make profoundly stupid decisions and the entire saga could have been easily prevented at least 10 different times had the main characters not been stupid. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review traduzindo m o roteiro força em alguns momentos q voçe tem q desligar o sensor da descrença porem o suspence funciona bem nesse filme. Nota:6,0 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review kee Very unrealistic movie: th alligator coming from who knows where, it being very passive at times (conveniently), the mai character has the worst luck ever so every attempt to escape is a failure, and it gets worse each time. The end is what really gets me. They kill off the dog just so the main character could escape (also very unrealistic since climbing up on a dog chain with injured hands and a broken foot would be a way bigger challenge than what the movie shows). While this is happening, his girlfriend has already drowned and when he gets to her she miraculously coughs up some water and live while realistically, with the time he takes to get to her, she had been dead for a couple minutes already and no attempt could've saved her. Horrible and unrealistic to say the least. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
