         There are two kinds of bad films: the ones that know they are bad and lean into it with a campy approach, and the ones that are sincere and serious in their efforts despite the glaring shortcomings in filmmaking. Crocodile Island does not appear aware of just how bad it actually is, which removes some of the enjoyment found in other B-film creature-feature releases like Sharknado or The Meg. There is some unintentional enjoyment to be found in the laughably bad execution of visual effects in this Chinese B-film, but this may not be enough to make watching Crocodile Island a worthwhile experience for sober audience members.

         Denzel Washington won his second Academy Award for his first collaboration with director Antoine Fuqua, so it is not surprising that the pair have worked together multiple times since. In addition to remaking The Magnificent Seven, the star and director have turned 1980s crime series “The Equalizer” into a successful action franchise. The first two installments were action-packed, turning the network-safe show into some of the most intense American action films of the twenty-first century. While The Equalizer 3 slows down the pace of the narrative to close out the film series, there is still enough brutal action to satisfy fans.
