Curiosità:

Konstantin Khabenskiy, who plays Anton, actually worked briefly as a night watchman before he became an actor.

Errori:

Personale o equipaggiamento visibile: Near the end of the movie, during the rooftop scene amids the dark vortex, Anton wields a long fluorescent light bulb as both a lamp and a sword. The glow that is visible from the bulb is clearly not a special effect -- the play of shadows as the bulb moves is far too accurate. But if the bulb is actually lit, then there must be a power supply somewhere. If the viewer watches closely while Anton is swinging the bulb about, a wire can be seen coming out of his sleeve, to be obscured behind the bulb. It should be noted that there is never a single, continuous shot showing the entire circumference of the bulb. This is most likely because the wire front Anton's sleeve runs along the "back" of the bulb to supply the necessary power.

Citazioni:

Vampiress Larisa, initiate: I want to live.
Anton Gorodetsky: So live. Live. Who's stopping you?
Vampiress Larisa, initiate: I want to be human again.
Anton Gorodetsky: You want to be human? Then act like a human.

outstanding!

I bought this movie a month or two ago. Unlike most movies I have seen for a while, this movie grabs your imagination and doesn't let go. From the story line, to the cinematography, to the surprise that a few certain scenes were computer-rendered... I was captivated by this movie.

I had heard that this movie did very well in the Russian box office from a friend, and decided to buy it. If this movie were to be released in the US, it would probably rank equally as high.

Nochnoj dozor delves into the realms of good and evil. The story is that a treaty was made during an ancient war between good and evil, the agreement being a balance between the two. Evil would set up a "Day Watch" to police the Light/Good beings. They, in turn, ran a "Night Watch" which would police the Dark/Evil beings.

The supernatural powers of both sides, which are portrayed in the movie, are some of the cleanest 'movie-magic' I have ever seen.
