Reviews
"A contemporary Russian movie that you could honestly call revolutionary, more for its style than its politics."
- Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"With its somersaulting trucks, drafts of quaffable blood, and skies full of digitized ravens, Bekmambetov's movie has every intention of whacking"
- Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
"A wildly entertaining fantasy thriller that propels Russian cinema into the 21st century."
- Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
"Although this first chapter in a three-part tale is inevitably overburdened with back story, it ends on one hell of a cliff-hanger."
- Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide
"NIGHT WATCH may be derivative of American movies, but when our ideas ooze out of the dank Russian filter they're weirder, crazier, grimier."
- Kyle Smith, New York Post
