I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a pretty cool cast, I was quite eager to check it out. Indeed, I really have a weak spot for Nick Nolte and Ewan McGregor and they both did a pretty good job here. The directing was also decent as well but, unfortunately, the story didn’t really work and the ending was even rather disappointing. Basically, like most of you... read more

"First viewing - May 20th Nightwatch is a neat little thriller that kept me guessing for most of its run-time, which is as it should be. Ewan McGregor does a wonderful job of bringing his character to life & making him someone you care about. Cool to see Josh Brolin in this too, and you can see his acting potential through the supporting role. The rest of the cast does a mostly good job as well, and there are some truly memorable moments along the way. The soundtrack is pretty good too. Overall "
