Day Watch

 

Release Year: 2006
Review: The second film of the the Night Watch trilogy. The movie picks up a few years after the first one, and continues the the Dark vs. Light theme. While this film is beautifully shot, it falls into even more of the over stylized pitfalls which ruined many of the scenes and takes you out the story. The plot becomes more convoluted and some of the major plot points seemed to be there solely to fill time and never went anywhere. The plot line and mythology are too thin for a trilogy and could have easily of been fit into two films, if not just one. If you enjoyed Night Watch then this is a decent follow up, but otherwise its not something to go out of your way to see.
Rating: 3/5
