Featuring the cinematic vision of cutting-edge Director/Writer Timur Bekmambetov, "Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor)" is the second installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled "Night Watch," "Day Watch" and "Dusk Watch." A dazzling mix of state-of-the-art visual effects, amazing action sequences, and nail-biting horror, when "Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)" was released in its native Russia in July 2004, it became an instant smash hit breaking all film gross records in post-Soviet history. Set in contemporary Moscow, "Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor)" revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.

MOVIE REVIEW

Day Watch, the sequel to the popular Russian action-horror film Night Watch, arrived in my mailbox with high expectations awaiting it - expectations that weren't met. It's not that Day Watch doesn't have some spectacular special effects that defy everything you expect from a foreign film; it's just that the movie is so weird and relatively plotless that it just doesn't live up to the original.
