So intense is Theron's acting that she changes the film itself. From the start her performance is pungent, but we feel at first-about the picture as a whole-a sense of reportage. Go to Full Review

2/5
A fine start does not help Monster stay afloat, and the movie ends as just another stinky little rip-off. Go to Full Review

Ben L Oct 21 There's a line uttered halfway through. "I can't see anything." That sums up the whole movie. See more 04/17/2015 Couldn't finish it. A monotone of similar 'documentary' style broken up pieces of footage where the characters repeated the same or similar lines over and over again. Extremely annoying to watch. See more 04/11/2013 Holy crap this sucked. The best part was the first 10 minutes of the two sisters traveling to Japan from LAX. This was chock-full of terrible acting and writing. These ladies experience an "earthquake" while filming an interview with some Jap about global warming and the Kyoto Protocol. They start to believe it was a terrorist act, only to change their collective mind after glimpses of humongous tentacles. Made by Asylum to capitalize on the awesome "Cloverfield". I guess its supposed to be a kaiju film despite the lack of a visual monster. Poop. See more 02/18/2013 "Cloverfield" styled junk. Poorly acted and rather boring. The actresses would have wounds in one scene and they would magically disappear in the next scene. The sounds of the monster was nothing original and the monster is just not that terrifying See more 11/11/2012 Its low budget but there are a few moments when I found the hair on my arms standing on end. Not from any of the monster shots but the moments when the girls learn what's really tearing the city apart. See more 09/18/2012 It's not that bad. I like Cloverfield more. See more Read all reviews
