Narrative incoherence continues to reign supreme. Full Review |
||
 2.5/4 |
Visually, it mixes a gritty reality with eye-popping horror-fantasy, but the story short-circuits the film by adding a level of incomprehensibility, particularly in its second half. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Let’s hope the humor is intentional; it’s frankly hard to tell. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Watch's supernatural police and Bekmambetov's rich visual palette give the film enough strength at least to throw a couple elbows to set itself apart from other nameless films with plenty of effects, but little vision. Full Review |

|
|
... a mindless muddle - loud, slowly paced, and overdone; in other words, it is exactly like a bad Hollywood blockbuster, except for the subtitles. Full Review |
||
|
|
Although more flashily assembled, pic's relentless onslaught charms less over a running time almost 25 minutes longer. Full Review |

Day watch is nonsense. But it's glorious nonsense. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/5 |
While it's not as good as the first film, Day Watch is a nice alternative to the American horror flicks that have been polluting the cinemas this year. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
There's a lot more to make your eyes goggle, too, as the Watches chase each other up, down and under the streets of Moskva. Full Review |

As ornate as a high class Russian samovar, Day Watch continues the battle between Light and Dark in Timur Bekmambetov's unmistakable high octane fashion. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Impressively directed with superb special effects, this is an action-packed fantasy flick that's actually more fun than the first film. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Day Watch combines the action sequences of a John Woo blockbuster with wonderfully self-conscious humour and hardcore human interest. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Even during its action sequences it is slow, confusing and apparently interminable. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Big, stupid and nonsensical Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
A slog through endless death metal-powered action sequences. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A must-see for fans of the original, but a shorter running time and less energetic CGI excess might have done this flawed horror fantasy a serious favour. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A disappointing follow-up to Timur Bekmambetov’s ground-cracking debut that still holds just enough explosiveness to blow a few fuses in your brain. Watch for the set-pieces (killer balls, car chases, power lines used as whips) and ignore the rest. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
The film undeniably has buckets of style, aided and abetted by some extremely funky animated subtitles. Full Review |
||
|
|
Part zombie, part vampire and all a pain in the neck. Full Review |
