First rule - you have to have seen Nochnoi Dozor a.k.a Night Watch. Its well worth seeing Night Watch for a number of reasons, but understanding the second film in this trilogy is probably the best of them. It makes the whole first film worthwhile. While Nochnoi Dozor was very ov...( read more)
The sequel to Russian vampire movie Nightwatch, Daywatch continues the battle between the forces of light and darkness for supremacy on Earth. At least I think that's what it's about because it's so confusing it's quite difficult to tell. Not that it's complicated, it's such a mi...( read more)
Not as good as NIght Watch. It was a little weird when the subtitles would move. I've never seen that before.
It started out good. I had the feeling it might be even better than Night Watch, but it wasn't the case. Both films are mediocre in my opinion. Nice effects.
I can't say I hated this, but I do wonder where it went wrong...

From the beginning, Anton is completely unlikable to me. In the previous movie, he was identifiable now he's just a broody jerk. Granted, his son has just sided with the dark side but still, he on...( read more)
Day Watch isn't that much better than its predecessor, Night Watch. Matter of fact, it probably isn't better. But somehow, this ultra-nutty, incoherent story is executed with the kind of visual panache that comes around as though in a vision of a glue huffing with a...( read more)
There 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)
Watch this movie even though it's subtitled. An excellent sequel to Nightwatch.
i thought it was brilliant but you have to watch the first one to understand whats going on. Together these two films make up an enjoyable nights viewing :)
It's just fantastic. Very intense and catchy. Maybe the intensity comes from watching night watch&day watch together but still, very good.
This film was more complete than Night Watch, and I enjoyied this one more. Some scenes felt long such as the driving scenes/ chases which I felt could have been cut out. Overall an interesting watch
Great follow up to Night Watch. Film is so layered with imagery and effects done in such an original way that you feel hip just watching (when you're not confused). Ending is intense.
Russia and with subtitles but impressive SE and not too fucking bad at all!
After reading this bit here, I had no idea thats what the movie was about..
Its a strange movie and so is Night Watch!
Let's see, the FX were also very cool, but I grew very frustrated with anton as time went on, I wanted to kill him myself, he didn't react and when he tried to it was already late. Although this film had more comedic tones, I found the body swaping hilarious but I wanted to be ov...( read more)
Not as good as Night Watch, but still awesome.
And no, Night Watch is NOT the one with Ewan McGregor.
I was disappointed with this in the same way I was with "Kill Bill Vol.2"), so I guess I just have to take the 2 as one whole story. Oh wait... I guess there is suppose to be a third?
My Thoughts
Completely Unexpected production of The Russian Cinema

It has been some time since the grand finale of the original film. Anton continues to fight the forces of Darkness while simultaneously attempting...( read more)
Russian-Over the top visual wise. Great sequel. Hard to follow if you have not seen Night watch first. Can't wait until Twilight Watch.
sequel to night watch, not as good as the first but is still fantastic. leaves a few doors open for a third instalment....
Somehow this franchise caught my attention. Especially because of its subtitles - you can't look away even for just one sec because you'll be lost in translation.
As expected, this film is actioned packed, with exaggerated tricks and effects!
The story's quite simple, you just...( read more)
If you're thinking of watching this, make sure you've seen Night Watch first, and preferably recently. Think of it as one long movie in two parts.
Decent followup to Night Watch. It's been kicked in the butt with more big budget SPXF, which look pretty, but I think the story suffers a bit. The last 30 minutes are worth it though, some incredible visuals. I really liked the ending. I watched the dubbed version. I hope to get...( read more)
Seriously, the aluminum foil balls of destruction were just too much. Watch this movie only if you want to laugh at how bad it is.
Not bad. Can't I give it 3 & 1/4 stars? :(
Book fiends, beware...apparently NOTHING in here was in the book..save the characters and an item of importance. I'll review this later.

Day watch(Dnevnoy dozor) is the sequel to Night watch, a Russian fantasy action blockbuster....( read more)
DNEVNOI DOZOR (Day Watch), the follow-up to 2004's NOCHNOI DOZOR is a highly stylized, exciting, fun, cheesy, and ultimately, very entertaining mess.
The love stories were a little unnecessary. But, God, that scene with the car on the side of the building is EPIC.
Better than its prequel surprisingly ! More suspense.. more action.. great twist of story from part 1.
