This was a fresh take on the monster-loose-in-the-city genre. The extreme hand-held camera technique was annoying but it did help create the you-are-there feeling that made this work for me.
The first twenty minutes was too much like being trapped in someone else's home movie but once the monster stuff kicked in the film took off. Annoying characters hurt some. But this film blew away Godzilla and all its recent ilk and achieved an exciting picture of urban chaos and breakdown in only 84 minutes. The handling of the monster was first rate.
Nice job.
