Review of The Pool

The Pool (III) (2018)
1/10
Oh, come on.

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, the CGI for the croc is not very good. So right from the start, I am not believing the supposed threat.

And then it just keeps getting more and more implausible with every scene. Sometimes the croc just sits there. Then the stupid thing's behavior becomes entirely plot-driven. The human would just chill out and it would do nothing. But when it came time to attack, it only wanted the one shin that the guy had splinted?! Oh, how convenient. They literally could have crept up behind it and gouged out its eyes hundred times over. Then it laid infertile eggs so they have brunch. Ugh.

And every time, the two move out of view, coincidentally and someone or something comes along that could have rescued them? Stay in one place! It was slightly okay when it happened one or twice. But the entire plot relies on dozens of unfortunate timings that it just got so tiresome and ridiculous.

Then two people who I can only assume were Thailand's premier Cheech and Chong impersonators showed up. And they don't get eaten.

And that part with Lucky. Yeah, no. the dog should have lived and everyone else should have been crocodile food.

Beyond awful. Beyond insulting and contrived. It's abysmal.
