    This was the strangest combo I have seen lately: a killer crocodile in the midst of an African civil war. It actually works much better than I thought it would, but I just don't like killer crocodile stuff. It's not entertaining to me. But the cast is pretty good in this, Orla...( read more)ndo Jones (who seems to have disappeared over the years) is amusing at times with his comments, though a few fall flat and his serious moments are believable.
  • July 10, 2007
    based ona true story or not... very very overdone storyline
  • July 10, 2007
    too much with the political drama of drug warfare and not enough about the 25 foot croc which is what i thought it was about
  • July 9, 2007
    my mom screamed throughout the entire movie
  • July 8, 2007
    Can't believe this movie is a true story based on a very large reptile that is still at large in todays real world.
  • July 8, 2007
    i was duped, i didnt know it was a shitty crocodile movie
  • July 6, 2007
    It was a alright movie, but if Orlando Jones was not in it it would not of been that good.
  • July 6, 2007
    This movie was just good in my book and think that it is true in africa what is next to learn about africa
  • July 5, 2007
    Orlando Jones does make you laugh so much in this.
  • July 4, 2007
    The worst kind of horror movie...boring.
  • July 4, 2007
    i would only watch this because it has the other hot guy from prisonbreak in it
  • July 4, 2007

    Best line, Orlando Jones' character to a local South African (who wants to go to America) after saving his life:

    "I don't care if I have to shoove you up my ass to get you thru customs, you're going to America."

    Actually, better than I was expecting. Pretty decent.

    I wa...( read more)sn;t expecting much as the only real reason I was watching this is because of Dominic Purcell.

    Kind of like Anaconda, but with a crocodile, and no annoying JLo.
  • July 4, 2007
    gosh...i might want to see it if it had the right orlando in it....
  • July 3, 2007
    everything was kinda expected
  • July 3, 2007
    crazy!! It feels like it ends too soon.
  • July 3, 2007
    nothing in this flick make sense..that what I'd say..to some extent its like anaconda, but the story&actor lack of performance (better lake placid),and too bad they claim it is based on real event .. perhaps they havent seen animal planet
  • July 2, 2007
    Good suspense! Kept me on the edge of my seat!
  • July 2, 2007
    this one was good, some great gorey scenes, and theres more to the story than just a big alligator killing people... its based on a true story
  • July 2, 2007
    ok, i was goin in this film with the intent that i was goin to see a mad crazed psycho serial killer...oh, its about a killer alright...but the kind that outlived the T-REX..its about a killer croc that is still alive in africa...i mean, its a true story and that in itself makes ...( read more)it worth watching..a little modern day, in your face, live and in color news never hurt anyone...but the story tends to stray away from the killer croc and leads u to all the troubles in africa and the war that was goin on between certain ppl....the 3 americans were supposed to go and get the story and evidently capture the croc...but that never happens so therefore the ending is rather...well.....shitty...at least to me...lets just say this...im never goin to africa!!
  • July 2, 2007
    Enjoyable film but there could have been more killer croc and less focus on the political struggles of this war torn africian country. DOnt get me wrong, thats just as interesting a story(maybe more), but I just dont think that both themes fit well within one film.
  • July 2, 2007
    WTF!!! This has got to be the worst movie I've ever seen... I hate previews, they make th movies out ot be better than they are. Don't waste your time on this STINKER.. Realy not worth a rating.
  • July 2, 2007
    This movie is KICKIN I didn't think it would be that good but it freaked me out with a shock or 2 it would be worth renting if you want a girl to jump in your lap
  • June 30, 2007
    A decent monster movie based on true events. It doesn't re-invent the wheel, but it's mildly entertaining and it has quite a few scenes that actually made me jump. Some decent CGI of the killer African croc, some great one-liners from the always entertaining Orlando Jones and t...( read more)he hot as hell Brooke Landon make this flick worth sitting through at least once. My main problem was some of the racist remarks made throughout the film about slavery and such. Just not funny. Also it unfolds just the way you'd expect, with the big twist being that the killer croc lives in the end (it's still alive to this day). Extremely in-your-face gory and very fast paced, you can do much worse than this. Decent.

    Crikey! Graphic. High production value makes it a couple steps above ordinary creature flicks.
  • June 29, 2007
    Dominic Purcell, Brooke Langton and Orlando Jones ? to war-torn Burundi, where they hope to capture, on film and in a giant metal cage, a giant predatory crocodile. Whose name is Gustave, but also by a mysterious and ruthless warlord, known as ? what else? ? Little Gustave. This ...( read more)movie is a true story but yet hitting the big screen lost it's character. Trailer gave it the wrong impression. I was missed lead. It reminded me to much of "The Ghost in the Darkness" but yet more boring and grusome. It was a alright movie.

    Not only one of the worst films I have seen recently, but one of the worst films in the history of filmmaking. Terrible from start to finish. You know what, not terrible...let's go with HORRID!!! I went to the theatre with an open-mind thinking it'd be more like "Ghost and the Da...( read more)rkness" than "Anaconda". In the end, it was not terrifying and believable like "Darkness" nor was it a good time like "Anaconda" even. It was just a REALLY, REALLY BAD film with some of the worst acting, no plot script, and no brains ending, not to mention one of the worst looking creatures ever to show up onscreen. Stay AWAY!!! Not even fun to make fun of....just brainless filmmaking.

    loved this movie, i though it would be cheesy, but i jumped in my seat soooo many times.
  • June 28, 2007
    If you think you will see a slasher flick, you will be disappointed. It is not a slasher flick as it was advertised. If you wanted to see a man eating crocodile flick, you will also be disappointed because this is a political movie dressed as a horror killer croc, dressed as a ...( read more)slasher flick. Not worth it at all. If I want to see a movie about the political state of Africa, I'll watch Hotel Rwanda or The Last King of Scotland.
  • June 28, 2007
    Interesting show! Keeps you on the edge of your seat!!
  • June 27, 2007
    The trailer said it was a slasher film. Okay, so it turns out that Primeval's "serial killer" is actually a monster crocodile. All right, a four-legged, scaly Jaws that can chase people on land! Actually, that too is a coverup. What Primeval ACTUALLY is is a horror movie view...( read more) on the political situation in Africa. Interesting topic for a film, but not when you're expecting a giant man-eating crocodile in place of the serial killer you were initially promised. Anyway, the relatively short amount of time devoted to the crocodile is well done, with excellent effects, and the cast is really very lovable. In fact, this would be a really fun, frightening movie . . . if only the filmmakers had decided exactly what it was they were making a movie about to begin with.

    i hated the beggening loved the rest
  • June 27, 2007
    Average- nothing to remark about here.
  • June 26, 2007
    Remember when Orlando Jones was kinda popular? Look at him now...
  • June 26, 2007
    I'm pretty sure this is about a killer crocodile. "Lake Placid" anyone?
