Synopsis

It would be wonderful if we could split John Sayles in two so we could have the don of American independent cinema on one hand and the screenwriter of so many wonderful drive-in films on the other. His script for this JAWS-inspired shocker — about a baby alligator that grows to monstrous size in the subway — is a marvel. The film is beautifully executed too, despite its modest budgetary scale. With Robert Forster and Henry Silva.
