Night Watch

There are several films called Night Watch. I am writing about the 1994 Danish movie directed by Ole Bornedal.

Nattevagten.

Even though there is an English remake by the same director I went with the original because it has good reviews.

I didn't like it though. The most interesting thing about it is that most of the young cast went on to find fame in great dramas like The Killing, The Bridge and Borgen.

There's nothing wrong with the acting but the plot is dull and predictable. There isn't much character development. There is little suspense. It isn't very scary.

It's really quite a poor film.
