Ночной дозор

Москва. Наши дни. Когда на город опускается ночь, силы Зла выходят на охоту, завлекая в свои логова новых жертв. Справиться с ними могут лишь "ночные охотники", следящие за выполнением договора заключённого тысячелетие тому назад между Светлыми и Тёмными. Имя им - Ночной Дозор. Главная задача Дозора - сохранение баланса между Добром и Злом, нарушение которого может вызвать войны, катастрофы, революции и т.д.
Трилогия Сергея Лукьяненко, которую планируется экранизировать полностью, в среде любителей фантастики носит статус культового чтения. С этим контингентом создателям фильма будет, пожалуй, тяжелее всего. Как тут не вспомнить многочисленные дискуссии на фэнских сайтах после выхода первой части "Властелина колец". Все сюжетные неувязки, нестыковки, противоречия литературному оригиналу тут же будут подмечены и вынесены на обозрение зрителей, книги не читавших. Впрочем, все изменения и находки по отношению к художественному тексту несут на себе печать автора (Лукьяненко сам писал сценарий), а потому ожидаемые упрёки можно будет смело отнести к нежеланию читателей разрушать собственные образы, возникшие у них при знакомстве с книгой. В данном случае, аспект соотнесения оригинала и его кинематографического воплощения не так важен, поскольку перед нами, прежде всего продукт, претендующий на звание кинопроизведения и только потом - удачной экранизации.
В ролях: Владимир Меньшов, Валерий Золотухин, Мария Порошина, Гоша Куценко, Алексей Чадов, Жанна Фриске, Илья Лагутенко и др.

Night Watch

Night Watch (Russian: Ночной дозор, Nochnoy Dozor) is a 2004 Russian fantasy action thriller film by the Kazakhstan-born film director Timur Bekmambetov. It is loosely based on The Night Watch, and is the first part of a trilogy, followed by Day Watch and ending with the 2009 release of Twilight Watch as confirmed by IMDB.
In the prologue, which is set in medieval times, humans with extra powers are called Others. The Others are proponents of either light or dark and confront each other to do battle. Gessar, lord of light, realises that the two forces are evenly matched and both will be destroyed. In parley with Zavulon, general of dark, the two agree to a truce in which the light will form a Night Watch and the dark a Day Watch to maintain the balance before the coming of the Great One who will choose either Light or Dark and thereby bring one to prominence.
In modern Russia, when his wife leaves him for another man, Anton goes to see an old woman who he believes will be able to bring her back. This woman tells him that his wife is pregnant by the other man and the fetus must be aborted or she will return to the other man. Anton accepts responsibility for this. The old woman prepares a drink involving Anton's blood which he drinks. He has a vision of his wife telling the other man they have to split up. The old woman casts a spell to abort the fetus, and Anton's wife on a distant boat collapses and clutches at her womb but just as the spell is about to be complete, three figures burst into the room, one of whom shapeshifts into a tiger, and restrains the old woman. They express surprise when Anton sees them and note that he must be a seer.
Twelve years later, an alcoholic Anton is living in a squalid apartment. The three figures were part of the Night Watch; Anton has also become a member. At Anton's request, Kostya, his neighbor, takes him to his father, a butcher, to procure blood for Anton to drink. The father does so reluctantly and notes after Anton leaves that the Night Watch only drink blood when they are hunting a vampire.
A twelve-year-old boy, Yegor, is hearing a psychic call by a vampire who intends to feed. Anton tracks Yegor, being able to hear the call as he nears Yegor. On the way he sees a blond woman with her hair flying about even though she is inside a subway train with no airflow.
Two vampires are about to feed on Yegor when Anton arrives, and he is attacked by the male vampire, whom Anton can see only in a mirror. Anton wounds the female vampire, who hides. The other members of the Night Watch arrive and turn on special lights on their truck. Anton then picks up a mirror shard and directs the light from the truck towards the male vampire's chest, destroying him. A member of the Day Watch arrives and reveals that the male vampire had had the appropriate license issued by Night Watch to turn the woman into a vampire.
Held hostage by the female vampire, Yegor is turned over to Zavulon. Zavulon's assistant reads Anton's personal file aloud and hearing that Anton tried to kill him as a fetus, Yegor willingly turns to the Dark, much to the dismay of Anton.
