    Probably the best film of its type. I have seen a few films that were based around avoiding a huge Croc in perilous circumstances. Some had really bad effects like Crocodile, or just plain cheesey like Lake Placid 2, Blood Surf. This was more like another film called Black water....( read more) I found this more interesting though and the Crocodile looks more believable. Worth checking out.

    I wanted to see it cause?Sam Worthington is in this & WITH the Aussie accent YUMY! OF course predictable he gets eaten!! (lol you would have been laughing at me watching.. every time sam went into water (or dog got near it) I was like oh no no no!!! Don?t eat the doggie or the ho...( read more)ttie!! Its about a Crocky?but a big one. (kinda Lake placid like but if you don?t watch for the movie.. at least watch it for the BEAUTIFUL Landscapes!!! The ending somewhat surprised me?(at least to man vs. Beast) this I think I have to give the least a C highest a B

    Rogue is an amazing piece of horror cinema up until the final showdown with the massive 25-foot croc. Pity.
    But Greg McLean still deserves a lot of commendation for making a horror film that relies on pure old fashioned suspense as opposed to gore and a huge body count. The pre...( read more)mise is totally believable and scary.
    The setting is as great a setting as you will find in a movie. Just like his previous film Wolf Creek, McLean sets the action against the Australian outback. He shows the environment as its own character, one that poses its own kind of threat to the characters. These locations are downright incredible to look at.
    Also praiseworthy is the A-quality acting that comes out of all the actors. They create real characters that you sympathize with. I totally bought how everyone reacted to the situation.
    Rogue is definitely a horror film worth watching, and I really want to give it four stars. But the ending just didn't do it for me. The CGI is flimsy, and the final encounter between Michael Vartan and the croc feels too much like Arnold vs the Predator. I won't say what happens, but it requires too much suspension of disbelief. It would have worked for me if the film was going for the cheesy B-movie creature feature feel, but it wasn't. Maybe if Arnold WAS in this movie instead of Michael Vartan....I don't believe he's fought a crocodile yet.

    Yay for big killer animal movies. Especially Crocodilian's. Though nowhere near as fun as Lake Placid, it is a lot more interesting than the snoozefest that was Black Water. This is a pretty serious croc movie, but doesn't skimp on tension or badassery. It's amazing how a well ma...( read more)de film can still fall into such obvious traps, without becoming dull. There are cliched characters and situations. Rope walk over dangerous water anybody? Great acting and an impressive CG crocodile make up for it all. The croc is amazing really. From the CGI, to the sound department, this croc seemsreal. He moves like a croc, which is both terrifying and sometimes comical. Rogue is like a well made sponge cake. Simple and similar to previous efforts, but is still pissing good.

    The big question here is, do we have another killer croc movie a la Lake Placid?

    Answer: No........ and well, damnit, yes we do.

    Rogue is ultimately better than your typical killer croc movie. But let's face it, how over-dramatic was Lake Placid? C'mon... This Australia...( read more)n version of the killer croc succeeds because it doesn't inject us with a surreal beast that has been genetically mutated by government nuclear waste, or anything outlandish like that... it's just a real big hungry beast! It keeps the look and feel of the crocodile authentic. Also, the croc itself is amazing looking, even for a low budget film like this. Technology has come a long way. I love how the director stays true to realism by the actions of the killer croc. It's not doing anything abnormal, and even executes the "spin" when it grabs on to something that attempts to resist. Very realistic indeed....

    I'm beginning to grow fond of Radha Mitchell as an actress... she put in a wonderful performance here in this film. She wasn't given a whole lot to work with, but she was clearly the best actor in this group. The male lead role went to a very talented, but unheard of Michael Vartan (girls might remember him as the "hot" teacher from Never Been Kissed) who displayed a great range of versatility in his part.

    However, the rest of the cast was all garbage - sans the witty, comedic beer guzzling Aussie Neal played by Stephen Curry. They were bland, boring and too similar. I had a hard time deciphering who was married to whom... then I realized I didn't care. I had zero empathy for any of them. Instead of leaning back wide-eyed in suspense, I was leaning forward with a sadistic smirk anticipating the glorious devouring of these ridiculously stupid characters.


    Rogue suffers from extreme predictability, and plot holes long enough to swallow the Outback. I don't want to delve into it because I don't wish to spoil the story for anyone. But the film's lack of common sense is absurd and completely laughable. Despite all the ground it makes in this genre, Rogue is still constricted by it's own underlying flaws.

    Absolutely loved the Outback scenery, and the female Aussie accent tho ;)

    It's alright I guess, but not as good as I thought it'd be. After watching it on DVD, I was upset that it made me feel happy in the finish, because that's no way to finish a horror movie!
    Plus, the whole movie was kind of soft in some places.

    An ok movie. I gave it a look because of Michael Vartan and Sam Worthington. The finale is a bit of a letdown though.

    Exciting, reasonably unpredictable creature feature with very good croc effects and a surprisng amount of care given to characterisation. The low budget can be seen in the copious use of green screen, which sits rather uncomfortably beside beautiful aerial shots of the Australian...( read more) Outback that look like they've been taking off a Discovery documentary. Radha Mitchell (in her own accent - hooray!) and Michael Vartan are better than needed, and if nothing else the film is proof that Greg McLean is not a one trick pony.
