Product Description

Amazon.ca

Ole Bornedal's thriller about a young law student who takes a job as a night watchman in a creepy morgue is long on style but comes up a little short on quality of storytelling. Bornedal sets things up in high style as Martin Bells (Ewan McGregor doing an American accent) makes his rounds in the middle of the night, with only corpses and his own paranoia for company. When bodies start coming in, the prostitute victims of a grisly serial killer, the imposing detective on the case (a hulking Nick Nolte) begins to suspect that Bells is the killer, as all clues start pointing to him. Coscripted by Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight) and adapted from Bornedal's 1994 Danish thriller, Nightwatch forsakes out-and-out thrills for a more moody approach with flickering lights, menacing shadows, and echoing footsteps down long hallways. If only there were a little more energy before the highly effective denouement, which does get scares, even after the killer is revealed. Still, McGregor is supported by a stronger than average cast: in addition to Nolte, Josh Brolin does an amusing turn as McGregor's out-of-control best friend, Patricia Arquette fares well in the standard girlfriend role, and the always creepy Brad Dourif makes the most of a sinister and funny bit part as the on-call doctor. You won't jump out of your seat, but by the end of Nightwatch you will find yourself remarkably tense. --Mark Englehart

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like suspense, not gore... Feb 18 2003

By A Customer

Format:VHS Tape

If you like movies that give you the creeps (like I do) this movie is for you! Very rarely do you really see anything "scary", but the camera angles, music, lighting, etc. are incredibly effective! You really get scared, for absolutely no reason! As I am sure anyone would working in a morgue at night. :-) And it doesn't hurt a bit that Ewan McGregor is a great actor, and not bad to look at!

Very suspenseful and great twists. I saw this movie on a whim, while on a Ewan McGregor kick, and fell in love with it. I can't believe it wasn't very successful - it thought it was very well done. It will really creep you out!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dead On Arrival Jan 15 2003

By "wshaver40"

Format:DVD

Another disappointing and flaccid serial killer thriller. Nightwatch never overcomes its genre cliches or matches the visceral intensity of earlier flicks such as Silence of the Lambs or Seven. This, despite a how-can-you-lose mise-en-scene morgue setting, creepy Lynchian details, and normally oddball actors. Instead, it relies on the inherent and cheap titillation of murder itself for any movie excitement-which, if you think about it, leaves a different kind of icky feeling than director Ole Bornedal or screenwriter Steven Soderbergh probably intended.

The DVD itself looks and sounds great, especially in the morgue sequences. There are no special features to speak of.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did you every get that feeling???? Aug 9 2002

By Lisa Houghtaling

Format:VHS Tape

In this movie you get to figer out how is the killer. (Ewan MaGregor) is Martin. In the moive he is the new watchmen. He stayes in a big building by himself with dead people. Well, I won't do the job if they pay me a 1 millon. Staying in a building all night by yourself No way not me would you??

In the moive a new face comes long he his (Nick Nolte) the Inspector Cray. He Inspect's the killing's of woman that been going on a long time. And the Inspector have's a Deputy Inspector Bill he also help's out to catch the killer.

In the movie some parts are funny and some are bloody and so on. I think you'll enjoy this movie it's full of something hey you watch and fine out for yourself. I enjoy you will too!

In the movie one of Martin's friend's play's a little joke on him at work. Martin is a his desk and the red light go's off and he called's somebody to see what he can do and she said, just go down there and check it out so he did. Ok he go's down there and he fine's the door open and the light turn on so he go in and fine's nothing but, he go's to check out one thing in and fine he friend under the white sheet and he jump's and get's he good ...

Well, let's jump to the end of the movie. Martin fine's out who's been killing these woman. In the movie he's talking to the killer on the other line and the killer walk's up behide martin and martin's girlfriend comes into the building. Sometime in the moive Martin and this girlfriend are tide up and inspector bill and Martin's friend enter the building and the killer walk up to them and inspector bill said, have you seen martin anywhere? And the killer said no,,, no I have't. Then the fire alarm go's off they run into the office to see where it's comeing from and the killer hit's martin's friend in the back and hit's inspector bill in the face with a bastball bat. In one part in the movie martin's friend cut part of his hand off just to save his friend life. How far will you go to save your friend's life???

Ok the good comes to the end. martin's friend get a gun from inspector bill. He comes in the room and kill's the killer trying to kill martin and he's girlfriend and well, the end.

How well, you know take a good look at them form time to time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice

Nightwatch is not your classic "horror flick". When I think of horror movies, I think of 50 people being murdered and giant bugs taking over cities. Read more
