Among normal humans live the "Others" possessing various supernatural powers. They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs to their dark opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually roam the night as vampires while a "Night Watch" of light forces, among them Anton, the movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their outrage
burnhill reviewed Night Watch (2004)
Best part of the movie: ending theme!
I remember clearly the day when me and my friend Teemu walked to Plevna. We saw a trailer which looked quite good - yes, the trailer looked quite good. so we bought tickets and went to watch Night Watch.
First of all, the trailer gave a very different view of the movie. I thought that Night Watch was cool action movie with some fantasy - Oh boy was I wrong. The fact that Night Watch was a russian production and it was spoken in russian caught me completely by surprise. Not that I have anything against Russia or russians. It just caught me by surprise. I also don't think that I have ever seen as boring movie as Night Watch. A few laughs here and there wouldn't have hurt, but it was only a nice picture in my mind. The movie's dead serious! I can't help thinking that I really paid to see Night Watch in a theater. The only good thing that I can think of is the ending theme! It was also the only part when I laughed and I laughed hard. I don't know if it was that the movie is so bad that it's almost amusing.
Anyway Night Watch is a movie that I do not, I repeat I do not recommend to anyone. If you have any self-protection at all you will find something else and better to watch. Almost anything will do, but this is only my opinion. I won't stop you if you choose Night Watch. I will only say: told you so!
