"Cohen gives Q the Jaws treatment for as long as possible, showing a shadow here and a neck there, but holding off on the whole creature until later. This limitation gives him plenty of opportunities for clever staging, like a death from above revealed through a sprinkle of blood rain on the people below, and wry dark comedy, like when Shepard shrugs off the question "Did you find the guy's head yet?" with a nonchalant "It'll turn up." When Cohen finally relents and shows Q flapping around in all its glory, he doesn't try to hide the effects to make them seem slicker than they are; all the attacks take place during the day, and while Q won't give anyone nightmares, there's a throwback charm to it that honors Japanese monster movies more authentically than an expensive Hollywood production ever could." - Scott Tobias, The Dissolve
