What are critics saying?

Variety by

Bursting with incident and FX, Day Watch will delight fans of its predecessor, "Night Watch," but further annoy those antipathetic to the Russkie-made supernatural franchise.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Putting an entertainingly outlandish spin on "Matrix"-style action, Bekmambetov leans toward flamboyant special effects and operatic overacting.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor

For all the vampires and blown-up cars, you'll see no sadism for the hell of it, only an oddly sweet-tempered mix of hyperbole, understatement and profoundly Slavic philosophizing about guilt, freedom and responsibility.

Premiere by Glenn Kenny

The crazy fantasy world of this saga is plenty compelling and quirky.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

Unfolding in a decrepit, present-day Moscow, Day Watch dazzles and confuses with equal determination.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Though overlong, there are many stunning special effects, including a car chase up the side of a building, as well as the sort of wild animated subtitles that turned up in "Night Watch."

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

It's a high-energy blast.

San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Hartlaub

While the sequel to "Night Watch" is an imperfect film, it's always interesting.
