Nightwatch is a seriously overcast B-movie with rote performances from everyone but Brolin, who gives James an edge of danger that says that if he isn't a killer, he will be. Full Review

If not for Bornedal's stylish approach to the material and a couple of effectively chilling sequences, Nightwatch would have been a complete waste of time and effort. Full Review

Nightwatch quickly declines from creepy to silly. [17 Apr 1998] Full Review

Variety
The new outing - which retains the essential twists of the original, a hit overseas that was never released Stateside - has been physically enhanced with American production values and a marquee cast, but much of the earlier film's humanity and mordant humor have been lost in translation Full Review

Nightwatch is a horror for reasons that have nothing to do with suspenseful moviemaking. Full Review
