Have been watching various spot about Night Watch, which was being hailed as the next big thing, crossing Matrix and Lord of the Rings. So I thgought this film defaintely needed checking out. Then a couple of weeks back in Empire I read the feature about it and was even more impressed.
So I just got back from watching it a couple of hours back, and it has to be said it does live up to the hipe. The film is made in Russia, so naturally it is in Russian, so I can see it not going down to well with some people. However people who watch lots of foreign films anyway will not be bothered. This is the first of three films, so it introduces all of the constructs and does a good jobs of setting up the storyline and charaters. So far so good, can’t wait for the next 2 parts. They have obviously rejig the soundtrack since in consists of a number of recent tracks which obviously have been put to make it seem more palatable to the west. The effects aren’t bad either.
