Night Watch

I bought a double movie dvd a while back. It has Night Watch and Day Watch. The reason why I bought it was that I had seen a trailer away back when the movies were released and ever since I have wanted to see them. Just did not have to time to do so.

So I was eager to see the movie, as I had high hopes for it. My first surprise was that the movie is Russian (some how I had thought it was American, as it did fit the style). Well this did not stop me, and I continued watching it. After the first shock of language, I got used to it and really got into the movie. I was a bit slow I would say. I had hoped it to me a bit more faster, but having said that it was not too slow. I liked how, even though it is fantasy movie, it didn't have too much vampire this someone else that, but it let them be who they are. The story was the point more than the creatures.

I wouldn't recommend the movie to be watched if you do not like subtitles. My motto is to watch the movie in its original language and read the subtitles, just because the falseness of the wrong language used might spoil the whole movie experience. Trust me, I have seen German and Chinese movie spoken in English and I just could not get over it. (I rented those movies and I thought that they weren't dubbed...)
