December 7, 2008"Why does the wind blow? It wipes the tracks where we have passed. So that no one can tell, whether we still exist."

October 22, 2008Better than the original, way better. A fantastic and breathtaking film. It's gripping, pulse-pounding and exhilerating.

August 7, 2008There was a point around the beginning of Day Watch where I thought it might actually be better than its predecessor, Night Watch. The impressive but over-the-top scene with the car barrel-assing along the front of that hotel, the interestingly upgraded special effects and the fo... ...( read more )

June 26, 2009Not as good as Night Watch, but still awesome.

Spectaculars don't come much more bombastic than this goth-Russian supernatural epic. full review

It's exhausting just trying to imagine what 46-year-old director Timur Bekmambetov would do with Hollywood money. Yet, as puffed up as it is, Day Watch is redeemed by its sardonic, Slavic take on the ... full review

"Daywatch" looks huge -- Bekmambetov really knows how to marshal his limited resources. But the picture feels heavy; sitting through it is like swimming through lard. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Aside from one stunning image of a sports car skidding along the face of a curved high-rise hotel, Night Watch fails to even equal its forebear's handful of flashy CG moments. full review

May 13, 2009C'mon people, don't be fooled by the special effects only. Why dont you look at the story, its so boring and the reaction of casts was so wrong to each of the scene. I thought this movie was great but i was just fooled by the trailer. No offense but that's how i see it. Half star only for the efforts.

June 21, 2007This was 100 times better than the first one and, since I really liked Night Watch too, that means that this must be fantastic! :o) Even better acting, a better story and lots more of Zhanna Friske in this one. Just don't go to see it if you want to see a horror film. It's a fantasy.

May 11, 2007A shambolic mess. There's no strong narrative, barely any action and is so boring I wanted to turn it off. The opening scene is good, but it's all downhill from there.

March 20, 2007I loved Night Watch... when is this being released in the rest of the world?

March 5, 2007The point is that.. Still, we can not turn back the time, but yes we can write our story again by correcting our actions.. Like an old Russian proverb says: "it’s better later than never"...yes, though we’d need a magic chalk of destiny and i think, yes, we can find it, and firstly inside ourselves..
