| SYNOPSIS
|
 Set
in contemporary Moscow, "Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)" revolves
around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light
and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing
sides. As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "Others"
of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect. But there
is constant fear that an ancient prophecy will come true: that a powerful
"Other" will rise up, be tempted by one of the sides, and
tip the balance plunging the world into a renewed war between the
dark and light, the results of which would be catastrophic. "Night
Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)" is the first installment of a trilogy
based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled
Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch. |
Review by
ED TRAVIS
|
| Vampires,
Tigers, and Bears…oh my! Although
I must immediately apologize for that horrible one-liner, it is also
an apt opener for this film. Night Watch, a film co-written and directed
by Timur Bekmambetov, has it all when you hold it up against any
dark gothic fantasy vampire tale. Included in the mythology/theology
of this film are prophets, shape-shifters, vampires, and more. All
are called “Others”, some belonging to the side of light,
and some belonging to the side of darkness. Having broken all box
office records in its native Russia, Night Watch has now made its
American debut. The first part of a trilogy, this film is just the
beginning of a rich and unique story arc. — Continued |
