The criminals take it into their own hands to continue when one survivor is attacked and eaten by a crocodile.

Sadly Over-hyped
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
While the first movie was no masterpiece - it at least TRIED to be entertaining. This Tobe Hooper-less sequel finds a bevy of plane crash survivors who are hunted by killer crocs. I'd go on further, but a self-defense mechanism kicked in (meaning - my brain erased the memory of watching this immediately after completion). Hey, at least I'm honest - which is more than can be said for the producers. There's not even a crocodile in the film! Just the occasional close up of a snout and tail. From the director of the far superior Spiders (the 2001 movie - NOT the remake). This is one of those straight to video titles that helped put Trimark out of business (hence their catalog is now being distributed by Lions Gate).
I really liked Crocodile (2000) it was good. This sequel is even better.A number of guys, rob a bank and then catch a plane then, there plane get stuck in a storm, where need to land but robbers are have none of if, so they hijacked it, tell them carry on with the flight ,them the plane hit by lighting, the plane crash (which is really badly done) in to the river.Most of the people are still Alive, including all the robber, who get some people as hostage, then one of robber are killed by the Crocdile and they shoot.it dead, not knowing that the mother crocodile was watching the whole thing., she what revenge, for her sons murder and goes on the killing anything that get in her way.This great sequel, action pack from the start, Acting is not that bad in this movie,An there was some really good gory deaths scenes in this movie, which I really liked I going give this movie 7/10
I bought this film in a boxset with 9 other movies. I expect you've all heard of the Shark Attack Trilogy... that was in there.Upon returning from the pub, me and my housemate decided to give this one a whirl.Easily the greatest B movie ever made! The pair of us watched Crodile 1 the night before, but this one just blew us away.There is quite a bit of character development, in fact, you can get so into the characters that you can almost forget there was a crocodile anyway!Not great acting by a long shot but great backgrounds and stories. Swearing was a bit o.t.t. though which starts to detract from the believability of the main characters, but some subtle humour to make up for it.The crocodile didn't disappoint either. Yes; it's a bit shoddy and you can see it's blatantly cgi. The whole point in these films is that it doesn't matter. The film is just there to be enjoyed.And trust me when I say this one was.
I give this movie a '7 out of 10' on a 'B' movie scale. It was more entertaining than I expected and contained some twists and turns to the story that kept me watching it without getting bored. There is a good balance between action and character development as well. The special effects are as good as they come for this kind of movie but you won't be so concerned about that because the setting and story will keep you entertained. Acting is good with the main female character doing a great job. The bad guys are also pretty convincing with focus on mainly just two of them. Strangely, I would say this movie is as much about humans as it is about the crocodile.
