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.

The Pool is an undeniably wild ride full of gnarly ingenuity, jolting thrills, and intense sentimentality.

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

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

Ready Steady Cut

Romantic creature feature from Thailand, with plenty of surprises despite its simple premise.

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

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

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

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.
