Croc (2007)

A land developer wants to shut down a local crocodile tourist attraction that also includes elephants who play basketball and monkeys in cages who screech a lot.  The developer pays some goons to let loose the crocs, and also calls in reports of animal abuse which cause an investigation.

Coincidentally a giant croc eats some teens and the escaped crocs are blamed.  The police can't figure out that the crocs weren't released until that night even though there is a witness to the attack which was in the day.  Also the fences are cut so the crocs can escape, but owner Jack is told that he is responsible.  How does that make any sense?  There's not much you can do if someone sabotages your fence.  But this is in Thailand so maybe things are different there, or perhaps the law is in the pocket of the land developer.

Then right out of Jaws, their own Captain Quint shows up  - a crocodile hunter with a steel leg who has been chasing the great beast for years. So the hunter and Jack, who reminds me of Kevin Federline, team up to smite this menace from their town.  Hurrah!

Actually it's fairly bland and there's not so much giant croc in it.
