a5c7b9f00b Three people attempt to stop a gigantic crocodile, who is terrorizing residents in Black Lake, Maine. Lake Placid - Well it would be, but; &quot;somebody said that name was taken.&quot; At least according to the local Sheriff. When a man is eaten alive by an unknown creature, the local Game Warden (Pullman) teams up with a paleontologist (Fonda) from New York to find the beast. Add to the mix an eccentric philanthropist with a penchant for &quot;Crocs&quot; (Platt), and here we go! This quiet, remote lake is suddenly the focus of an intense search for a crocodile with a taste for live animals…and people! Sitting through this movie is like having someone tear off your arm and beat you with it for ninety minutes while telling you how stupid you are for letting them do it. I felt like David Kelley was in the projection booth laughing at me the entire time I was watching it. I will never tell anyone I saw this film. Promise me you won&#39;t tell them either. Thanks This movie isn&#39;t THAT bad but it could have been so much better: I dig Bill Pullman and Bridget Fonda a lot (for different reasons) and it was written by David E. Kelley, who used to be great (Picket Fences) but has turned into a woman by writing ALley McBeal for too long. How else can you explain a movie ABOUT a man-eating crocidile who only eat ONE man in the whole movie?!! Did he not want it to be too violent?<br/><br/>Contrary too what some think, the perfomrances are good and the croc does look very realistic - I just expected more excitement/carnage and I think most people watching this will too. Remember that girl who gets killed while skinny-dipping in the beginning of Jaws? Could you imagine if she was the ONLY victim in the entire movie? That would have been awful lame. SInce I like the concept and Pullman and FOnda are so appealing, I would love to see a sequel, but since it bombed at the box office, I guess there&#39;s no chance of them trying to get it right the second time around. Amusingly macabre. [16 July 1999]
