Cert. 15 Length: 114 mins. Available on: 20th Century Fox, 3002201001 Price: £14.99 Director: Timur Bekmambetov Starring: Victor Verzhbitski, Ilya Lagutenko, Mariya Poroshina, Konstantin Khabensky, Zhanna Friske With: Valeri Zolotukhin, Aleksei Chadov, Galina Tyunina, Yuri Kutsenko, Vladimir Menshov Plot: Set in contemporary Moscow, Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) uncovers the other-world battle that upholds a 1000-year-old truce between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness. For centuries, the undercover members of the Night Watch have policed the world’s Dark Ones – the vampires, witches, shape-shifters and sorcerers that wage treachery in the night, while the Dark Ones have a Day Watch that in turn polices the forces of Light. The fate of humanity rests in this delicate balance between good and evil but that fate is in jeopardy. Adapted from the fantasy novels of Sergei Lukyanenko.
Although not quite as good as all the hype that surrounded its release, this is still an intriguing film. It's more of a fantasy film than a horror but there are some gory moments here and there.Some interesting ideas and very charismatic acting will keep you interested especially as it's a film that you may have to watch more than once to understand everything that is going on. When coupled with the vastly superior sequel, "Day Watch: Dnevnoi Dozor" (which has not been officially released for English speaking audiences yet), it all makes much more sense. This is, after all, just the beginning of an "epic trilogy". There are some people who love it and some who hate it. Personally, I think it's great! Dr Blood's rating: 8/10  |
