Cohen's style means that he shoots incredibly quickly, which can sometimes mean that his plots get a bit convoluted. But, where <I>Q</I> succeeds is that it gives us a central performance to dig our teeth into, and since that plot thread is entertaining and relatively easy to follow (and is separate from the monster itself), it makes the whole film run a lot smoother.<BR/>I'd recommend it over <I>God Told Me To</I>, and I think it compares favorably to other monster movie tributes like Tremors.Doug Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291634680094221868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295641698816483686.post-71027377478438683402008-05-27T13:11:00.000-04:002008-05-27T13:11:00.000-04:00This is a movie I've been wavering on seeing for a...This is a movie I've been wavering on seeing for a while now. I love monster flicks, but my only exposure to Cohen's work (God Told Me To) left me lukewarm. Perhaps its due to what you said about Cohen's directing, as I felt the underlying part of the movie was interesting; but the film itself was a confusing mess.ColinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837132779239543715noreply@blogger.com
