Just purchased this one based on a few recommendations,and I was shocked that I never caught it on the big screen-It's fantastic!
Starring:
Ewan McGregor
Nick Nolte
Patricia Arquette
Josh Brolin
Ole Bornedal's thriller about a young law student(Ewan McGregor)who takes a job as a night watchman(replacing a previous creepy old guard's position)in a spooky morgue.Martin Bells(McGregor doing an American accent) makes his rounds in the middle of the night, with only corpses and his own paranoia for company.When bodies start coming in, the prostitute victims of a grisly serial killer, the detective on the case (an imposing looking Nick Nolte) begins to suspect that Bells is the killer, as all clues start pointing to him.But is he really?Coscripted by Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight) and adapted from Bornedal's 1994 Danish thriller, Nightwatch forsakes out-and-out thrills for a more moody approach with flickering lights, menacing shadows, and echoing footsteps down long,dark hallways.The setting is creepy,and the plot keeps you guessing-Just as you think you've got it figured out,you're thrown for a twist.McGregor is supported by a stronger than average cast: in addition to Nolte, Josh Brolin does an amusing turn as McGregor's out-of-control best friend(who is f*cking hilarious!), Patricia Arquette fares well in the standard girlfriend role, and the always creepy Brad Dourif makes the most of a sinister and funny bit part as the on-call doctor.This one kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish-It is one of the best thrillers I have seen in ages.Highly recommended for a rental or buy if you find it at a decent price.
