movie review - Lake Placid
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Sydney, 2000.02.15
Another in the endless stream of who-will-survive-the-encounter-with-a-deadly-force-of-nature flicks, this one is about a buncha cops, game wardens, scientists and a crocophile who get together to fuck around with a giant crocodile that's living in a small New England lake. It's amusing and full of humour-filled chills and spills. I like both Platt and Pullman, though I never know what drives the latter to choose the movies he does. Both are aptly cast in this essentially silly affair, and I was happy.
Recommended.
