Review
Numerous interesting thrillers have been erected from the same building blocks as Rogue. Group of ordinary people involved in ordinary activities encounter mortal danger, get picked off one by one while devising escape plan. It's a highly effective formula -- if done correctly. Unfortunately, Rogue can't boast that level of success in its execution. The Australian horror/thriller conjures an excellent B movie adversary: a crocodile the size of a school bus, scarier for the fact that its presence is more felt than seen. When this massive croc swamps a tour boat and strands the passengers on a rapidly diminishing patch of land, the tension mounts exponentially. But it's here that Rogue starts failing to deliver. Writer-director Greg McLean passes up the best opportunities to kill off his cross-section of tourists and Australian locals, instead selecting the least interesting opportunities, not to mention killing fewer than is usually expected in a film like this. As a result, several smartly conceived set pieces reach strangely unfulfilling denouements. McLean's Wolf Creek had some randomness in its design as well, but that worked because Wolf Creek was a lot less well defined as a genre film, relying more on the sadistic arbitrary nature of a serial killer (see the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies). Here, McLean is clearly making a Hollywood crossover bid with this more mainstream story, featuring previous Aussie crossover Radha Mitchell and future Aussie crossover Sam Worthington, as well as French-born American Michael Vartan. This ambition may have bled over into McLean's story, in an oddly pro-American way that's sure to tweak the national pride of his countrymen: While the efforts of several handy Australians yield no results, it's the nature-phobic American travel writer (Vartan) who gets the best ideas under pressure, and gives them the best chance to avoid becoming croc food. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide
Synopsis
A handful of tourists looking for adventure get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a massive man-eating beast in this thriller. Pete McKell (Michael Vartan) is a writer for an American travel magazine who has been assigned to write a story about vacationing in rugged Northern Australia. Pete signs up for a cruise along a river that's home to a large crocodile population, with tough but pretty Kate Ryan (Radha Mitchell) serving as guide. Pete soon finds he's roughing it in the Aussie wilds with an eclectic variety of travelers, including Russell (John Jarratt), who is dealing with the death of his wife; Simon (Stephen Curry), a tactless amateur photographer; and Allen (Geoff Morrell), a member of the British upper crust making the trip with his ailing spouse (Heather Mitchell) and their rambunctious daughter (Mia Wasikowska). While Kate's former husband, who also works on the river, makes a pest of himself in the early stages of the voyage, the travelers soon find they have more to worry about when their craft is attacked by a massive 25-foot crocodile, who is just clever enough to know how to trap its prey before enjoying them for dinner. Rogue was written and directed by Greg McLean, who made a splash among horror fans in 2005 with his debut film, Wolf Creek. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
