Top Critics Reviews

Narrative incoherence continues to reign supreme.

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

fresh:
Day Watch deploys head-spinning cinematography and cool special effects. It's a trippy affair, even if it's just about impossible to track.

rotten:
