I'd wait for cable

Warning: Spoilers
Boat load of people end up stranded on a tidal island in a river when a giant crocodile wrecks their boat and plans to make a meal of them. Beautifully filmed in Australia this would be a perfect film to lure tourists to go see the countries scenic beauty-except that the plot involves a hungry reptile. Actually the problem with the film is that it takes forever to get going with a good 45 minutes passing before the crocodile strands the boat. Up to that point its the typical cruise through the river canyons and getting to know the people. Its a nice idea if it hadn't been done to death. Points to the plot which doesn't take the typical path to the end with everyone being eaten in turn, there are more survivors then you might think, but at the same time, say it with me, we've seen some of it before. Worth a shot in on an undemanding night, but not something that needs to be actively sought out
