After all the terrible reviews of "Night Watch" (Ночной Дозор) which I saw online when this movie came out in Russia, it looks like I will now be able to see it for myself. So. Anyone seen it? Is it worth my hard-earned $10.50?
The local cinema advertises it as follows:
An instant smash hit in its native Russia where it shattered all previous box office records and grossed US$15.75 million, see Russia's Best Foreign Film entry for the 2004 Academy Awards.
Part sci-fi thriller/fantasy and part mystery, NIGHT WATCH delves into the murkiest waters of Moscow street-life. A visionary horror fantasy film featuring a dazzling mix of special effects, adrenaline-fuelled action and suspenseful terror, this film shows the pulsing energy of recent Eastern European cinema.
Sounds like an incredibly silly special effects extravaganza...
