I once worked with a Florida native who held me in awe with her stories relating watching gators walk the streets in the quiet, Summer mornings of her hometown. Since then, much to my husband's dismay, I have wanted to experience seeing these mighty animals in nature for myself! Well, I think there is one particular moment in this movie that may have finally fixed that idea! :)

I very much enjoyed this film! The gator was magnificent, and the actors/characters were interesting. The dubbing could have been much better admittedly, but what ended up killing the movie for my husband, and led me to only give the film a 6, is the ending.

I don't want to give it away, and it is definitely still a journey worth watching. I commend the movie for managing to make a statement about how cruel humans are to animals, but there is so much MORE they could have done with the ending. Even with leaving one of the characters as is, there is so much MORE that could have been done, or said, concerning another. We don't even have a final answer for that particular character, and whereas they may have done that on purpose, leaving his fate up to the viewers' imagination, I would have still appreciated some further answer on it! The final scenes were lackluster at best, although I again do appreciate the statement they made about "human" kind.
