This movie felt like a torture device more than anything. Before the opening credits roll, we are greeted by some very unlikable horribly acted out characters that we know nothing about, nor care about. Anyway, that opener just sets the tone for the rest of it; it gets no better. What you see in the first 30 seconds is what the rest of it is like. Nothing changes, just more random people enter the badly written scenes, act them out horribly and die by a stealth 50ft alligator that always ends up getting punched in the face, literally. They should have called this movie gator boxing. At least that would have been an original something in it!!
Acting is D tier at best (and im very generous here), dialogue lines written by equally apt people, CIG is 90s level, reality and logic just do not exist not that those would have helped much at this point. The movie is an amalgamation of everything somebody saw over their lifetime. HARD RAIN, LAKE PLACID, SHARKNADO, DEEP BLUE SEA, and so many others.
Not an original thought was put behind anything on screen, there is no production value either. Camera work is acceptable but every angle and scene cut is generic as it gets - it has no style of its own. I was trying to find something good about it and i failed. At the end it begs the question, why was this made? There are stupid movies that are entertaining (COCAINE BEAR), but this is dull and annoying with nothing going for it. Frankly if the acting was just an inch above the deepest pit of bland and forced, it might have been watchable. But you just cannot stomach these people on screen for that long.
Just skip it. 2/10 because i was totally rooting for the gator every time he came out of nowhere right between 20 of them and ate one of them up before escaping using its teleportation device!
