This weekend I saw the second installment of Timur Bekmambetov's trilogy Day Watch. I loved the first film, Night Watch, which I believe was the most expensive film made in Russia at that time.
It's the usual good battling evil, yada yada. However, the films really are clever and edgy and decidedly not American. As my friend Jack commented when we left the movie, you never notice how homogeneous Hollywood films are until you see something that is so very different. If for that reason alone, I recommend seeing both films.
Night Watch was much, much better than Day Watch, but they're both worth seeing. I'm still looking forward to the third and final installment.
