Night Watch
Oct. 14th, 2005 11:44 pmI went to see “ Night Watch” the other day. There is a big hype in Russia surrounding this film, apparently it was the absolute leader in the Russian box office ahead of “Lord of the Rings” and collected the record amount of 15.5 million dollars (which is indeed quite big due to the fact that Russian currency exchange rate is something like 30 rubles to 1 dollar, though I could be wrong about estimation).
So again I had mixed feelings about all the hype, but nonetheless went to see it. I can not say I liked it entirely, but it was definitely worthy watching.
I thought that story was deep; although it started like something from LOTR it definitely had originality in a way it was developed later:
( Some more about the Night Watch, nothing what could be considered spoilers as such )
I found the main character, Anton Gorodetsky and the actor who is playing him, Konstantin Khabensky quite enigmatic. Altogether it was a good week – two new very likable male actors - Nathan Fillion and Konstantin Khabensky, really good week!!!!!!!!
I have made two icon-sized images of Konstantin:
1.
2. 
What I really didn’t like at all was the way images in the film were always flicking and flashing. There were some good special effects too, but all the flashing gave me a bit of a headache. It was hard to watch.
