Anybody seen the trailer for this yet? I saw it yesterday and was hooked. This looks extremely interesting and is the first of three films. [Night Watch](http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/nwnd/) Anybody know the story behind it? _Edit: It’s a Russian film, which has been bought by Fox along with a sequel. The third will be filmed in English_ ---

Not the best _Night Watch_ trailer I’ve ever seen. ---

I’ve already seen this via its Russian DVD release. _Night Watch_ is a disappointing, incoherent mess of a film. Imagine watching a 90 minute Michael Bay action sequence and you’ll get the idea. Really, this movie is all over the map and certain scenes will have you scratching your head. Yuck. _Just_ watchable, but be forewarned. ☹
