DAY WATCH is a curious piece of cinema. Yes, it's visually impressive (though less stylised than Night Watch), yes it's packed full of action, and yes it's amazing that all this was done on a tiny budget. But, like its predecessor, it fails to fully engage the viewer. As with Night Watch the film has a staccato structure. The crammed and convoluted plot is constantly manipulated in order to fill the action quotient.

For the most part this is an example of style over content. That said there's certainly plenty of style.Get more detail about Day Watch.
