Plot Summary
Set in contemporary Moscow, Night Watch uncovers the other-world battle that upholds a 1000-year-old truce between the forces of Light and the forces of Darkness. For centuries, the undercover members of the Night Watch have policed the world's Dark Ones -- the vampires, witches, shape-shifters and sorcerers that wage treachery in the night -- while the Dark Ones have a Day Watch that in turn polices the forces of Light. The fate of humanity rests in this delicate balance between good and evil but that fate is in jeopardy…

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Even though you couldn't call it a great science fiction movie, on the level of Tarkovsky's Solaris and Stalker it's often a great, heart-pumping, blow-you- to-the walls movie experience.
Fresh: Night Watch is shabby chic, with hints of Russia's great silent-cinema past.
Rotten: The punchy, nonstop visual effects crowd out coherent storytelling.
Rotten: What a rabid beast is Night Watch. What a pungent Russian fantasy-horror cheeseathon.
Customer Reviews
Follow the Lightness or stay in the Dark Forever...
This maybe a movie filmed in Modern Day Moscow, with a fairly new director...But this movie is something that should be talked about! America is not the only country who thrives for the fighting of Dark Vs. Light, it is worldwide and has started to strech across the globe. This movie is a remarkable movie for the small budget that they were given to film it and it is fantastic. Once you watch this, you have to watch Day Watch. -iChad
Surprisingly good
Night Watch is a visually stunning twist on a genre of movie making that is almost cliche. The Dir. & Pro. of this film are true visionaries. The story follows a logical path but gets quite involved. Its easy to miss things. Another thing I love is use of non-mainstream actors. At least not mainstream in the U.S. There were some pleasant surprises. The action is good & suspensful. The story is well written. Great history explaining where you are in the story. And then there is the graphics... stunning. Absolutely spectacular! Enjoyable film.
Wanted to like it, tried to like it.....but it was incredibly disjointed and lame
I love a good vampire, good versus evil, light versus dark story
But this one was pretty stinky
Check out something else
Unless you're stuck home sick or something and there is literally nothing else on
