Rogue Tamil Dubbed Movie Download
An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American travel writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate, a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another 'city-slicker' in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea - they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death.
I got a kick out of this movie. I have never seen the way people screw things up for themselves depicted better than it is depicted in this film. The folk being attacked by a giant croc had a number of chances to escape danger and one by one they blew each one. Sounds like the people I know. No really-have you ever been in a situation where doing one simple thing right means all the difference? You're thinking to yourself-naw-nobodies that dumb-and like a bouncing betty mine-they do the one thing that causes things to go downhill at a fast gallop. Doesn't even have to be anything that requires more than the brains of a ten year old-ker pow- yer right back where you started from. The action in this film is cleverly orchestrated. And remember-if you are cooking a pizza in the oven remember to clean the oven at the same time. Its whats best.
I finally caught up with Rogue on DVD, and I must say, it absolutely blew me away. I was expecting a shallow B movie, and instead I got an intelligent character study, with under-played action scenes and special effects so subtle that I never really noticed them at all. (I presume the croc is created via the usual mix of animatronics and CGI, but when the film ended, I realized that I'd never once questioned that I was looking at a real animal.)
Rogue reminded me, in the best possible way, of several of my favorite recent action-horror films, especially Neil Marshall's two classics Dog Soldiers and The Descent. The formula is certainly the same: take an assortment of familiar (and fairly likable) characters, add gruesome lurking threat, shake liberally, garnish with giblets. Like Marshall, Maclean makes it all seem believable. Rather than straining to outdo himself in each new action scene, he builds the tension slowly, by small steps. Tourists embark on a river boat cruise; there's a bit of character-revealing diversion with some local jerks; then there's a more literal diversion that results in the party being stranded more or less 'up the creek without a paddle,' on the home turf of the biggest, most aggressive crocodile in all of Australia. (The situation, and the locale, reminded me strongly of Creature from the Black Lagoon - again, in a very favorable way.)
The tourists, and their tour guide (Radha Mitchell), react just as I'd expect them to: first, denial; then some foolish and ill-considered attempts at fighting back; then panic; then the onset of a cool, desperate resolve as the true life-or-death reality hits home. As the story reaches its climax, Maclean stays focused on his characters, carefully resolving the dramatic tension and completing the character arcs rather than concocting some empty extravaganza of computer effects and pyrotechnics.
Rogue is a surprisingly thoughtful film, though it certainly is creepy and violent enough as well. I enjoyed every single moment of it immensely, and felt utterly satisfied when it was over. Even the closing credits have their little surprise, that perfectly caps the whole experience. If you like to see characters challenged to the furthest limits of their courage, and don't mind a modest amount of realistic gore, see this movie as soon as possible.
On the DVD extras menu Greg McLean says that the film was inspired by stories of a large crocodile that had attacked people in the Northern Territories. The story and characters however have all been made up specifically for the film Surprisingly, the Unrated Version does not feature any more unrated-worthy material than the usual R-Rated version. One can speculate that the Unrated Version is the original Australian Version whereas the R-Rated Version was created especially for the US market and therefore several plotscenes were left out. Those scenes are featured in the Unrated aka. Australian Version.
