The Film: Martin is a cash strapped law student trying to make some money as a night watchman at the old city morgue. But what he thought was going to be a peaceful job where he could study turns out to be more. He becomes the prime suspect in a terrifying series of murders and the police are after him after the murderer leaves behind clues pointing to Martin. And so begin nights of terror as the murderer is after him and his friends also..

My Comments: I enjoyed Nightwatch. It was rather a spooky movie with lots of twists and turns. At first I thought the murderer was Martin's friend James, and so did Martin suspect James to, but that would have been far to easy for us viewing the film. Ewan was powerful portraying a frightened and bewildered young law student. I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time especially near the end when his girlfriend and James were also targets for the murderer. The only thing I didn't like was Ewan's American accent. He should have kept his Scottish one.

I Rate This Movie: 8 out of 10
