Saw both Night Watch and Day Watch and really enjoy them as Russian dark
fantasy adventures. The Russian aspect is fascinating.
Definitely worth a look and I am looking forward to the third film. I have
not yet read the books which have been translated into English. The writer
of the books is also the co-screenwriter which is good.
Cheers,
Amy
