This is one of my favourite Rutger Hauer flicks. You might argue this movie lacks a good story, good special effects and decent acting, but that is exactly why this movie is great. Come on people, you can't take a movie about a giant, man slaying aqua-monster in a flooded-because-of-sea-level-rising-after-global-warming London seriously. At least Rutger Hauer doesn't. You can see he's just having fun in this movie. You can even catch him looking straight into the camara a couple of times, with a tongue in cheek look in his eyes. Officially, this is a horror flick, but in reality it's a very funny comedy. I would compare it to "An American Werewolf In London". (In London as well. Coincidence? I think not.) Just sit back, grab a beer or a coke, popcorn, nacho's or potato chips, turn off your brain and enjoy the movie. Don't analyse, criticise or scrutinise. Just make "we need bigger guns" your motto.
