There must be someone out there jonesing for a killer crocodile movie. If so, we present Rogue (R).

Wolf Creek writer-director Greg Mclean plunks an American travel writer (Michael Vartan) in the Australian outback on a river cruise. Somewhere along the way people start getting chomped by a rogue crocodile that disabled their boat. From there, it's a matter of sink, swim or be swallowed.
