Our research-based take

The Salty Score: 4/5. Romance gets teeth, eventually.

The unusual combination of influencer romance and survival thriller sounds like a gimmick until the danger arrives. Critics praise the localisation, craft and crocodile-driven suspense, while some say the first half takes too long to reach its bite. We would recommend it for the bold genre turn, with the warning that its strongest stretch comes after the setup.

The unusual genre blend gives the film two different promises to fulfil. First it has to make a relationship involving online personalities feel like more than a joke about the internet. Then it has to turn that relationship into something credible when survival becomes immediate. Critics are far more enthusiastic about the danger than the time it takes to get there, but several find the localisation and visual craft impressive. We would recommend it to viewers who enjoy a thriller willing to switch modes and can be patient with its setup. Our score rewards the ambition and the stronger second stretch, while acknowledging the pacing problem. The crocodile may be the clearest marketing hook, but the film seems most interesting when it tests how much the two leads actually know about each other once cameras and followers stop being useful.
