Crawl

Review

As cliche and as predictable as you can guess, but you get what you except - shallow story and fight for survival. Enjoyable movie in all its silliness.

Story is dull and feels like it is just a filler what is needed to start to make a movie. Father and daughter fights for a survival against evil alligators who just want to kill everyone, obviously, and not so surprisingly they talk about their past and strengthen their bonds in their family relationship.

There has been a divorce, daughter thinks she is the one to blame for it but of course truth comes out and daughter is not to blame. Imagine my shock.

There is small portions in movie where it is made obvious for a viewer that this girl is a swimmer and her dad has taught her to be strong and have faith in herself. She has always been with winner attitude without giving up and as you can guess, these memories and fathers words comes up again when it is needed. Cheesy.

Alligators in this movie are big and evil creatures and they will brutally kill everything they can so there will be blood. Alligators doesn't look very realistic for my point of view, but to be honest, I have never seen alligator in real life so I have no clue if those were realistic looking or not.

I liked outside views and the storm, it was well made and it looked like a realistic scenario of a flood area. Never seen that in real life either tho, but at least it was looking what I was excepting it to look.

This is a silly movie without much to offer except forget your brains kind of entertainment. And well, it gave me entertainment as much as I excepted so it was enjoyable movie in its own category.
