When the main male lead character explores the drain tunnel, not only is it much taller or far more wider a diameter than necessary for a pool this size, it terminates in a vertical vestibule or worker shaft with a ladder that goes back up to the pool deck. Most likely, a drain tunnel for such a pool would run horizontally/ laterally straight out 90° from the basin, and either be a large unified stream of outflowing water, or the tunnels or pipes more likely would branch out into several smaller pipes, and then distribute the outflow of water to the environment, into the surrounding ground, returning the water to the water table underground.

What a Croc

I had one hearty laugh towards the end after I tilted my head and thought "Sure, Jan" when our "hero's" insulin shot fell perfectly onto a cloth.

Unfortunately, this movie contained a bunch of unintentional laughs and "yeah, right" moments. But, worst of all: it had thee most fakest looking crocodile I've ever seen in a movie. And that's sad because it was supposed to be one of the biggest threats of this Open Water in Reverse knock-off.

Basically, under extremely unlikely circumstances, a man gets trapped and abandoned in a huge, albeit empty pool with no ladder or way out. To make matters worse, his girlfriend shows up, gets trapped with him and the aforementioned, hungry and angry crocodile in there stalking them. (Mostly sleeping, but when awake, stalking.) How will they possibly escape THE POOOOOL of DEATH?!

I didn't give up on the movie because, well, the lead was sexy (ha,) a lot of the time I could absolutely feel his pain of the gruesome things that happen to him and I do love me some When Animals Attack films as well as being trapped with nearly no possible ways to escape. I mentioned this is a rip-off (well, sorta) of the Open Water movies, but specifically part two. In that movie, the cast is in the ocean around their boat, but no ladder or way to get back onboard. In that movie, to add tension, there's a baby on board. In The Pool, there's a chained up dog up on deck, who they, of course, named "Lucky." Ha. Ha. I get it.

Mistakes are made by the lead, constantly - causing me so much frustration and while some graphics look good, others look fake as all Hades. One death in the movie was kinda shocking, but another's survival, though it was supposed to be happy, would've elevated this movie tenfold had they perished.

It's not the worst, by far it isn't. It's just a breezy 90-minute Saturday afternoon viewing. If you can get past that terrible CGI'd croc.

Final thoughts: Okay, I'm not from that country, nor ever been. But, seriously? The Olympic-sized pool has no ladder or shallow end? I know it's possible, but is it plausible?
