A news team is on a dangerous mission when he goes to Burundi to pick up a legendary 25-foot crocodile. It seems very scary when the crocodile is said to have dined on hundreds of people over the years. Things seem very bad when everyone knows there is an African warlord who is more bloodthirsty than the reptiles themselves.
Primeval is one of crummiest killer-beast flicks of all time. It actually makes the B.C.-shot giant-croc debacle Lake Placid look half-decent, but it sure the hell wasn't.
How capturing an animal found in every zoo constitutes a scoop is beyond me, but when you expect the trio to be knee-deep in blood they are instead wading through politics.

...a thoroughly awful, downright irritating piece of work...
Can't a killer-crocodile movie just be a killer-crocodile movie?

Primeval is one of several recent movies to bill itself as 'inspired by true events.' So was this review, though in both cases 'inspired' may be too strong a word.

Primeval is a slick-looking movie that lacks the gritty goodness of old-fashioned exploitation and is too silly to take seriously as a mainstream thriller.
The sub-sub-Anaconda bottom-feeder Primeval makes the mistake of taking itself far too seriously; with its exploitative images of civil war and genocide, it's the Blood Diamond of 25-foot-killer-crocodile movies.
