Shock director Greg Mclean (Wolf Creek) once again lends his talents
to a different "horror" movie about rogue crocodile in
northern
Australia that targets a group of stranded tourists.
Aptly entitled
"Rogue", this movie follows the standard tale of giant creature gone
"bad" which features clichéd characters to match a clichéd story.
The
story starts on an isolated river stretch where the captain (Radha
Mitchell) of a tourist boat goes to investigate a flare, unbeknown
to those aboard, a giant crocodile lurks underwater as it lures the
victims into his nest and plays a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Michael Vartan (Alias) plays the all round American hero (tourist)
who comes to the rescue as the body count rises. Even though the
story is clichéd, the special effects compliment the story that turns
this into an entertaining tale of man versus beast.
Definitely one for those who want a shock!
