Narrative incoherence continues to reign supreme.

Although more flashily assembled, pic's relentless onslaught charms less over a running time almost 25 minutes longer.

3/5

There's a lot more to make your eyes goggle, too, as the Watches chase each other up, down and under the streets of Moskva.

Although I really struggle to enjoy Day Watch fully, the film is packed with spiritual content that begs to be addressed...

2.5/4

Visually, it mixes a gritty reality with eye-popping horror-fantasy, but the story short-circuits the film by adding a level of incomprehensibility, particularly in its second half.

Like the first one, but with a better, though absolutely bizarre finale.

RUSSIAN SCI FI ... I watched this and really tried. REALLY TRIED to understand this movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, it was interesting, exciting, visually and creatively intriguing. But I think I may have to spend a year in Russia before I can follow along with any sense of real understanding. I have not seen Night Watch though, I will go get it and then see if it all fits more... grin.
