	Keeping Moscow safe from evil at 'Night'
		In the labyrinthine mythology of "Night Watch'' -- a wildly entertaining fantasy thriller that propels Russian cinema into the 21st century -- a chosen few are lobbied by the forces of good and evil to pick a side.
		Based on a best-selling novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, the Stephen King of fantasy, "Night Watch's" central conceit is some silliness about a truce declared 1,000 years earlier between the armies of good and evil.
		They agree that a night watch composed of the good guys and a day watch of the bad ones will patrol one another with the goal of maintaining a balance between the two forces at all times.

	Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)
		The best thing that can be said of "Night Watch," other than being technically excellent, is that it takes the tired fantasy premise of Light vs Dark and gives it enough of a distinctive make-over to make the film well worth seeing.
		“Night Watch,” the first part of a film trilogy, follows a tormented Night Watch officer named Anton Gorodetsky (Khabensky) as he investigates a destructive force threatening Moscow, all the while searching for the prophesized Other.
		And that only a third of the novel was translated to the big screen explains why the plot doesn’t always quite seems as fresh as its execution, and why its ethical philosophizing is a bit loosey-goosey.

	Night Watch (2006): Reviews
		Night Watch is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling Russian sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko (which also includes Day Watch and Dusk Watch).
		Night Watch may be derivative of American movies, but when our ideas ooze out of the dank Russian filter they're weirder, crazier, grimier.
		Night Watch represents the best in Russian special effects, a collaboration between 42 different CGI specialty firms all working in the service of a single goal: to create the nation's most visually transgressive film.

	village voice > film > Night Watch; CSA: The Confederate States of America by J. Hoberman
		Night Watch, the occult thriller that shattered box office records when it was released in Russia during the summer of 2004, not only represents an alternate universe—it is one.
		Night Watch goes to considerable pains to demonstrate that opting for darkness or light is a matter of free will—the deal sealed with a blood-and-vodka cocktail, hold the Worcestershire sauce.
		In its way, Night Watch is the sci-fi spawn of The Master and Margarita, the great underground novel of the 1930s era in which Satan and his familiars tour Stalin's Moscow.

		Anton collapses and watches stunned as the Night Watch arrest the witch for unlawful use of witchcraft.
		NIGHT WATCH is a fantastic combination of modern and mystic, arcane and technological.
		I love that the Night Watch uses laptop computers to predict the future and examine the past in the same way a fortune teller might use a crystal ball, or that they use flashlights with the bulbs replaced by crystals as both a light source and weapon against the Dark.

	AfterEllen.com - Review of The Night Watch by Sarah Waters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Their relationship began during the 1944 portion of the novel, and the blooming of their illicit affair during a London flout, with bombs thudding over the city, is both beautifully written and terribly sad, given the fact that we know what happens to them later.
		Her lesbian characters are fully fleshed, real women, and their desires and needs resonate, particularly given the slightly restrained style of The Night Watch, which artfully evokes 1940s London, from the joy of obtaining a pair of silk pajamas to the frightening aftermath of an air raid.
		In the beginning of the novel, Kay tells her friend Mickey, who used to drive ambulances with her during the war, that she spends much of her time going to the cinema.

	Powell's Books - The Night Watch: A Novel by Sarah Waters
		A novel of relationships set in 1940s London that brims with vivid historical detail, thrilling coincidences, and psychological complexity, by the author of the Booker Prize finalist Fingersmith.
		There are Kay, a 'night watch' ambulance driver; her lover, Helen; two imprisoned conscientious objectors, upper-class Fraser and working-class Duncan; Duncan's sister, Viv; Viv's married soldier-lover, Reggie; and Julia, a building inspector — cum — mystery novelist.
		The novel works backward in time, beginning in 1947, as London emerges from the rubble of war, then to 1944, a time of nightly air raids, and finally to 1941, when the war's end was not in sight.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Tell me a story
		Perhaps Waters' secret, the sprinkling of monosodium glutamate over The Night Watch, is her absolute control of the pace - each strand of the plot is paid out carefully at the same speed, no rushing the boring bits, no favouritism.
		Rather than be bullied by the eager reader into creating a future for her women, she leaves Kay, Helen and Viv suspended in 1947 and goes back to 1944 where Kay, the cross-dressing toughie, drives an ambulance during the Blitz and Helen and Julia begin their romance in the fled-out adrenaline rush of an air-raid.
		It is a measure of Waters' talent that this isn't frustrating and that the reader is quite happy to allow her to resolve all the tensions in character and plot in the past.

		The greatest disappointment with Night Watch is that, at a critical juncture, it fizzles.
		Night Watch is the story of Anton Gorodetsky (Konstantin Khabensky), a member of the Night Watch, and his efforts to keep evil in check while protecting the boy (Dmitry Martynov) whose decision will shape the path of things to come.
		Stylistically, Night Watch is reminiscent of an edgier, less polished Underworld.

		Night Watch is a stylish fantasy horror that takes classic themes seen many places before (particularly Star Wars) and translates them into a hip and modern, yet fairytale, Moscow.
		Several years ago, Anton Gorodetsky was inducted into the Night Watch after a visit to a witch that revealed his true nature as an Other.
		Night Watch has been a huge film for Russia - not only in popularity, where a trend is rife for the jacket Anton wears - but in terms of production and expectation too.

	Book Reviews: The Night Watch, Timequake
		The novel is a tale of two cities, or what's left of those cities.
		The south side of Edmonton, Canada, is a military dictatorship ruled by a man named Winter, who has kept the magic and monsters at bay through a terrible bargain with the dark forces of the city's north side, a land of the dead where it is always winter.
		What sounds like a plot is merely a framework on which Vonnegut--who is one of the main characters of the book--hangs a lot of little vignettes about his life.

		It's up to Night Watcher Anton (Konstantin Khabensky) to unravel the mystery of the Great Other before the world is plunged into a cataclysmic war.
		The plot may not be anything groundbreaking -- but as directed by Timur Bekmambetov, 'Night Watch' is Thanksgiving dinner for the eyes: Characters morph seamlessly into tigers and engage in spectacular, gory, mind-bending battles.
		'Night Watch' was originally planned as a four-hour TV miniseries, but after one week of filming, the producers switched from 16mm cameras to 35mm and decided to release the project as an epic motion picture trilogy.

		The novel begins just after World War II and everyone in it is so used to bucking up and being heroic that they can't quite break loose of their stalwart postures.
		The keystone of the story is Kay Langrish, an ambulance driver and medic who works the night watch during the Blitz, saving lives and pulling body parts out of London houses after they've been pulverized by German bombs.
		Kay was a hero, as one of the other characters surmises, "one of those women, in other words, who charged about happily during the war, and then got left over." A well-born, impeccably groomed butch lesbian, she is, as a former lover puts it, "such a bloody gentleman.

		The book first tunes in on the doggedly mostly-honest policeman as he and his fellow watchmen are commemorating the 25th of May by wearing lilacs and visiting a set of old graves.
		He's landed in an unpleasant era: the present Patrician of Ankh-Morpork is an insane tyrant, the City Watch are lax, violent, corrupt and cowardly, and they routinely haul curfew-breakers and perceived troublemakers off to be tortured and murdered by the Patrician's secret police.
		Night Watch's major flaw is that doesn't go as far as it might in exploiting its circular plot.

		Night Watch is the 27th Discworld novel and reflects Pratchett's evolution into a darker, more serious writer with a political edge.
		The Night Watch (Watchman= bent copper) have a long and largely undistinguished history originating as a rag tag bunch of thieves and layabouts who found the Night Watch to be the only place they fitted in.
		At a mere 364 pages this novel flies by and fits so much into it you can't help but feel that there could have been more but that is a small criticism of a fantastic novel.

		Pratchett invented the City Watch of his squirming and insanitary metropolis Ankh-Morpork, he once said, so as to make heroes of the supernumerary guardsmen and extras who are present in most stories simply to be killed in droves to show how bad the bad characters are, before the hero deals out justice.
		In Night Watch, Vimes finds himself - along with a peculiarly unpleasant criminal called Carcer - caught in a time-warp, back in his own early days as a Watchman, trying to change the course of a bloody revolution.
		One of the dead Watch heroes is the stolid Reg Shoe - who will reappear as a conscripted zombie, greenish, smelly and prone to lose body-parts, in the multispecies Watch of the fictive present.
