Faring even worse with the critics is Miramax/Dimension's Nightwatch. Larry Worth in the New York Post describes the opening scene, in which a prostitute and her pet bird are hacked up by a killer. "Not a pretty picture," he writes. "On the other hand, the gutted hooker and her feathered friend are released from their suffering early on. That's more than can be said for viewers." Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post is one of the few who has anything nice to say about it: "Tasteless and without redeeming social value, and also dank with the stench of decomposition masked by not enough formaldehyde, Nightwatch is the best kind of movie pleasure, a completely guilty one." |
