Review of Day Watch (2006) by Sébastien P — 15 Feb 2009
I strongly suggest watching or rewatching the first movie (Night Watch) if you're really intent on watching this one otherwise you will be lost. Day Watch does not cater well to new viewers. As a sequel to a solid first movie (that had good ideas and a fresh visual style), I found it rather disappointing, underwhelming and confusing.
Some of the special effects were quite good but they were few and far between except at the very start and at the end. The english dubbing was so bad, I went back to russian with english subtitles. I didn't like the story, nor how it was told.
I also didn't like the "chalk of fate" aspect one bit and the ending is a big cheap cop-out.
