What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The river cruise passengers must cooperate after their boat is attacked and they are stranded in the Australian wilderness.
Northern Australia's river, floodplain, and wilderness dominate the frame while hiding the crocodile and limiting escape routes.
The massive crocodile deliberately traps its prey rather than functioning as a mindless source of random attacks.
An American travel writer and international tourists enter a commercial river excursion that exposes the risks beneath Australian wildlife tourism.
