After a brief introduction, Day carries on from where Night Watch left off. However, while Night was consistently good, Day isn't. The first half is a mess and some attempts at humour fall flat. If you can endure it the last hour will make the journey very worthwhile. It pulls out all the tricks and leaves a very satisfying but equally prodigious ending.
Once again, the International release is heavily cut (by 14 minutes). Get the Unrated Dir Cut if you can. We may never see part 3 becuase Hollywood bought the rights to it and they don't make Russian films in America.
