User Reviews

Pretty good

In the beginning you can tell that the actors/actresses are amateur by their nonchalant way of acting. But as the movie progresses it gets kind of interesting but the plot is really hard to follow especially how the crocodile knows her egg is the backpack. the director of this movie did little research on the subject of crocodiles because then he would have found out that alligators are more protective of their young. But all in all it was a pretty good movie with a vote of 6.
