Review of Crawl

Crawl (I) (2019)
6/10
Crawl is what it's supposed to be

Warning: Spoilers
Crawl is what it's supposed to be. It's a film that reminds you of summer and will catch your interest because of the time of year. That's what deep blue sea was designed to be, that's what Jaws was supposed to be, 47 meters down, Twister. I can go on. Some of these hold up over time because they over achieved what they were supposed to be. Ahem, Jaws. This movie more than likely will not hold up.

This movie is entertaining but it is very hard not to laugh or shake your head. The alligators behave like beasts and they look like Godzilla. I was under the impression going in that this movie would be at least a little realistic, but that is not the case. While these alligators are behemoths, they cannot swim faster than the main character (I actually forget her name), for she is superhuman.

I probably will not watch this movie again, however it was entertaining because I saw it with a few friends and we laughed the entire time. This movie is what's supposed to be, the "summer blockbuster " movie this year. You can tell just by the feel of it, however I don't think it'll hold up very well. It's not even in the same discussion as Jaws, to compare it would be disrespectful. Deep blue sea is even better than this.

It's worth checking out, just don't think rationally or expect realism.
