"In parley with Zavulon, general of Dark, the two agree to a truce in which the light will form a Night Watch and the dark a Day Watch to maintain the balance before the coming of the Great One who will choose either Light or Dark and thereby bring one to prominence."

Now watch Daywatch It's pretty nifty too.
Read the Nightwatch books. The movies are crap in my opinion.
The movies were fun and all. The important thing to mention to those who loved the movies is that the films leave out about 2/3 of the story. So if you loved the movie, read the book! :)
I tried reading Daywatch, and could barely get through it. I think it was the translation that ruined it.
I watched Daywatch not knowing it was a sequel. I was really confused.
Daywatch is pretty crazy. I'd recommend not even trying to follow the plot and just enjoying the ride.
Boyfriend watched it without me (sadface). Even though it's MY FUCKING DVD. I have to hide things from him sometimes.

Loved it too. Make sure you see its sequel, Daywatch. While it was overhyped and said to be better, it isn't even close. But the storyline is still pretty good. There is a third movie, but the latest rumor was that he was going to make it in America with Americans...
nightwatch was a lot of fun, daywatch was pretty good as well. still no news on the third in the trilogy.
I loved the moral ambiguity that you don't get in western cinema.
Great freaking movie. The sequel "Daywatch" is just as awesome. Though I loathe the director for bastardizing the original content (Nightwatch is based off of a series of russian novels) he pulled that movie off great. Same thing with Wanted...the graphic novel had absolutely nothing in common with the movie aside from the two main characters' names.
I asked a russian friend what the vibe in Moscow was when Nightwatch came out and her reply was golden, "Nightwatch did for Russian film what the first Matrix did for the US. It redefined cinema and boosted movie invested. Pretty awesome stuff!"
I was confused by the title and watched this movie instead. I kept wondering when the forces of dark and light were going to come into the movie.
both these movies a horrid, do yourself a favour and skip them. instead you should read the books, better story, progression, themes, ties, all of it better
A great example of how to use subtitles creatively
Only if you see the version with Dynamic subtitles. There is a version with static subtitles.
I was floored when the kid had the nosebleed underwater, and the subtitles just dissolved.
